Again, thank you all for the positive comments.

Here's the current progress on Jumeirah Gardens (and now also the Dubai Water Cbrown town Project is being built, too):


Here's what's going to happen:

I love how you're making the sides of the river curved unlike other mini city builds. Most of the ones I see are blocky.
Excellent work!

Thanks, and it's a creek.

Now that the upper-Bur-Dubai-creek-area/whatever is finished, we're going to work on Jumeirah Gardens. Which will be somewhat tough.

Sorry again for the double post, but,

New update: Al Shindagha, Al Souk Al Kabir, and Al Hamriya are done.
These localities form what I classify as the upper part of the Bur Dubai side of the Dubai Creek.
i also like to call al shindagha "al shindiggity"

it would be perfect to have a condo there for summer, but imagine if it floods...

It was reported that the palm was actually sinking, about 5mm/0.20in per year.

Another small update:

I have been working on making the whole new WTC complex, the last time I worked on it was around April of last year, and I finished the 1, 3, 4 and 7 WTC towers, I had started the WTC 2 tower and completed everything except the top, here's a picture:

I tried doing everything as 1:1 scale as possible, even the slope at the top, and I didn't duplicate anything, too.


Anyway, yours looks pretty great, I like it.

Gallery / Mini Dubai - Phase 2 Stage 2 (+3): Bur Dubai (and more)

« on: January 04, 2014, 07:46:57 PM »

Mini Dubai

This is a miniature version of the city Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
I started this project on the 15th of September 2013 and started with the Burj Khalifa.
My goal is to build as much of Dubai as I can, including projects that are cancelled, on hold, proposed, etc.
Projects not yet built will be built according to renderings of the latest design, though in some cases, like the Dubai World Trade Centre District, due to lack of information an earlier design might be built instead.

Finished Localities and Projects:

Phase 1:

• Al Shindagha
• Al Souk Al Kabir
• Al Hamriya
• Al Raffa
• Al Hudaiba
• Al Jafiliya
• Al Mankhool
• Umm Hurair 1
• Al Kifaf
• Al Karama
• DIFC (Dubai Intenational Finance Centre)
• Trade Centre (most times referred to Sheikh Zayed Road (or SZR))
• Downtown Dubai
• Business Bay
• Al Wasl
• Al Satwa
• Al Bada
• Jumeirah
• Al Safa

        Phase 2:

• Dubai Water Cbrown town Project
• Jumeirah Pearl
• Jumeirah Gardens
• Oud Metha
• Umm Suqeim 2 (of 3)

On the first few days working on the project I finished some buildings and some of those aren't yet put in the proper city.
These are:

• Nakheel Tower in Nakheel Harbour
• Tallest Block (in the world) in Dubai Marina
• Anara Tower in Al Sufouh/Dubai Marina (not exactly sure)

Progress:
