@Goldman Sachs

Very nice, my friend.  *:thumb:

All you need to do is add a bridge crew and you're set to go !! 

You might also consider adding the 5.9" pedestal-mounted forward deck gun -- more opportunity for crewmen.  It's really too bad they removed those deck guns after entering service -- gave them a sporting chance against the destroyers of the day.

Weathering is quite good, and the detail of the mine laying position in the stern is very good -- not often seen so clearly.

Any chance of.......... ??

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed.  But they produced Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Renaissance.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of peace.  And what did that produce?

I very much like your highway widening, Haljackey. It has a muscular look. And British Sausage, I've always had a soft spot for the taiga - well done. I like most of the other people's work too that they have posted. Keep up the good work, everyone. Even though I play the game only very occasionally these days, it's always a pleasure to drop in and see these things.

Looking good -- as always !  *:thumb:

Even the rigging looks very good -- nice work on that.  ( I've seen some 3D models that look like they used 12" towing hawser for the rigging. *:lol: )

The process sounds simply amazing, my friend.  But your results are even more so......

@gutterclub & @Scaley McSlither  For the Flatiron scene, virtually every prop was custom made and rotated to the exact FA angle before being rendered, and custom base textures were made as well. It was impractical to work it in with a functional city recreation, so the whole scene was arranged in the Lot Editor tool:

Which I then plopped in the game and finshed off with some people MMPs. 

You can do that in the Lot Editor ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (Now I get how you manage to create such stunning scenes ! I admire it even more now that I understand (a bit of) the magic.)

But how did you do the lot you put in the L.E, to begin with ? Nah... don't tell, I should be able to understand it on my own by now .*:ohyes:

I present SM2 Arrow Cement Precast A cement precast company that makes tunnel sections to be used in tunnels made by those giant boring machines. They also make other castings. You can see the sample assembled tunnel sections on the ground.
Complete with a rail loading facility in order to ship the sections directly to the job site. It will go hand in hand with WolfZe boring machine lot.

Awesome model!  Is that another private one?  Some days I wish you would release some of your work and other days I'm glad you haven't, my plugin folder would explode.  LOL!!*:D

@Goldman Sachs

That is surprisingly similar to what they sound like when firing......

Particularly effective against tanks when using depleted uranium rounds.  But "old Warty" is a bit out of date these days (though they are reconsidering an upgrade).
