Ok... now the time you've all been waiting for... pictures!!!

The TVs are fully animated. Check the video below to see them in action. Definitely worth your time.

As promised, I present to you some progress!!! So, all my middle-class domes are in three dome clusters connected to a central hub. Two stories under ground (under water) where the three domes meet I've created a little strip mall (type thing). So far I've put in a small Grocery store & Laundromat. I'll put in an entrance to the subway and some other business (any ideas?) later.
I made some more additions to my texture pack too for the grocery store & laundromat. Hopper is around to play tour guide:

B1ueJ0ker's Luxury dome:
This is the top level of the dome. Lots of marble, a fountain, two glass platforms (with a sitting room and dining room on them) and a piano. I still want to reskin the marble:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FqK4GPMF.jpg%3F1&hash=cb22ae7625e2e6918fbf4a12d16a6389)
Next is B1ue's living room. He gets a big TV all to himself. I recently created the texture for that wallpaper, I think it looks fantastic. Hopefully at some point I'll reskin the floor & ceiling as well:

B1ue is fortunate enough to own an original Kandinsky:

Downtown:
These are some old pictures from before I started putting in buildings downtown:

Near the bottom of the image you can see the rail tube passing through the trench. The large vertical glass wall separates the water filled trench from the trench/ravine under the big dome.
First National Bank of Aquain
First National Bank of Aquain, one of the largest buildings downtown:

Down the stairs are small offices where you can meet with an account manager for more involved assistance:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdKCBHBv.png%3F1&hash=f165cdcde3e4a1d470e4005fd74af744)
Down another floor and you find the entrance to the vault. There is a working redstone keypad to the left (that Hopper built!!).
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FtecBqvT.png%3F1&hash=d249daca0a38b0c8a00dc0cdffbfefff)

Looking down on two of my rail tubes. The right one is curving around to go toward the residential domes and the left one is going under ground (you'll see it again in the trench).

Some docked subs.
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FnTug8.jpg%3F2&hash=023f5cc5c6004bf71249f7d4e8179158)
There is a water filled tunnel at the end of the docking bay leading to this room which is a repair shop for subs. This one is on the lift, being worked on. Not happy with the wool texture though, that'll change.
Upper Class Domes: (screenshots posted January 1, 2013)
The Upper Class domes are far more open than the middle class ones. More windows, more light, more openness:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FxZp1K.jpg%3F2&hash=e28cf412ba2b0f1d1f2910ec25fe4753)

I spent a day working on this wood floor texture. I finally got it just how I want it:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F0XzKY.jpg%3F2&hash=3ce360c63c295240168cf1d959da7977)
The Upper Class domes have access to a pool!
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2dnq4.jpg%3F2&hash=3d2a2b19b40a789bc4671f1eaa29363c)
In the center of the dome you can look down through all the floors. Here is a look from the main floor down all the way to the pool.
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQYUxS.jpg%3F2&hash=0ec793450a7f04cd2ff1503e94b99eb1)
Here is a look straight up from inside the pool. You can see all the way up to the ocean outside:

Another nice amenity of the Upper Class dome is they have their own Sub Garage:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FV4UDe.jpg%3F2&hash=340939b4ddb190d459b5a41df1a72ee9)
The garage has a nice window to see subs coming and going through the access tunnel:

Here's a view of that sub descending the tunnel from out in the water:

The front desk, behind the desk is the principal's office, with two smaller offices on either side:

Cathedral:
This is a shot of the nave, looking towards the altar. Take note of the awesome looking texture for the carpet I created, I'm absolutely in love with this one. Red wool has never looked so good:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FRxAIlZE.jpg%3F1&hash=08169311d77aa814d6a0afe546b096a8)
A closer look at the altar. The cathedral is built in a traditional cross shaped design with seating on both sides of the transept and the high altar & choir stalls in the "choir" (the part of the nave that extends beyond the crossing, i.e. the top of the cross). The high altar, appropriately, is all gold:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F8TDh5TU.jpg%3F1&hash=12dc3259b6349b05daab6e1d8fca8637)
Here's a look at the ceiling/dome. The chandelier supports are netherbrick fence, but I made a new texture for them so they look like metal pipes.
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdLKdfPJ.jpg%3F1&hash=dcd1c9717c4ab6a683e41e1ed3cca87e)
On either side of the nave are the aisles. B1ueJ0ker helped me make some awesome archways that separate the aisles from the nave. His ideas were big improvements over what I was going to do. There are four chapels that shoot off from the aisles:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FI0y8cIB.jpg%3F1&hash=6489e43ced0df74a76dc9ec5d11032c0)
Here is a close up of one of the chapels:

Metro stations:
I now have a subway line that runs from the docking bay to a station under the upper class domes, and a line that runs from the upper class dome station to a station built under the finished pod of middle class domes (right under the grocery store & laundromat). Upper class dome subway station:
(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FkGzo7By.jpg%3F2&hash=7a481c1bbad1e4e6f6641e18caa6ff1f)

Bank (Added 10-12-13)
First National Bank of Aquain, one of the largest buildings downtown:

And here is a very rough animated gif version of my Aquain News animation. If you watch the video to the end (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsblmiWqbPw&feature=player_embedded) (which I suspect very few people have done) you will see this animation in action (it looks better than this animated gif, for some reason the news scroll switches direction in the gif version, I have no idea why), but for all you people too lazy to watch the video, here is a rough gif version:

A video of some of the middle class condos and my animations:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/vsblmiWqbPw
Watch for the clock, I have it set to advance 15 minutes every 15 minutes of game time. So in our world of minecraft at least the clock is semi-accurate. Also watch the keypad for the door, the display there has a subtle animation. And, of course, at the end of the video is the crown jewel of this project so far, a newscast from Aquain News Channel. :)

Awesome! I can't promise when I'll finish it, but just be patient and it'll happen. You'll be B1ue's neighbor. :)
Also, I just made new textures for a fridge and a sink. You can see both on display (as well as my oven) in B1ueJ0ker's kitchen. (the workbench isn't my design, and is just a place holder for now)
