A quick walk up the Unter den Linden.

The Brandenburg Gate.....

I can't wait to replace the gate but here's my latest...

Sorry bud you aint retiring anywhere...lol ****ing fantastic dude....Wow wow and wow

Just found this gem, Hermann Goering Strasse, look at the ground textures, the roads aren't really roads anymore a mixture of mud and muck with parts of cobblestone etc... You can see the ate in the background and are these IS I's or II's either way an awesome shot of a street not very well photographed. Cheers

One have to be very careful with after war soviet photos, they may have made the barricades themselves to give the impression that it must have been harder battle than it actually was. There are picture of Stalingrad where the are plenty of defences and AA guns etc. but some clever fellow proved they were fake because the buildings where smashed but on the date given for the photo the buildings were still upright and not destroyed. the Soviets done this to show they would never leave a city unprotected???? I think barricade some but leave at least one free could be good???? Ok I was wrong. lol There were barricades as the shots show. Cheers

Awesome will transform this map, cheers Mark

Thats how ive made the Gate bud Bridge with Mod build over it.... Its ok but far inferior to the gate you posted... Is that not possible to use in game bud?????

They sent me a PC download????? No good.

Yep you are correct, working on it. Cheers

Here's my Gate effort.

I've added this section for the Chimney... This is how I build the city maps, all in sections, I copy the aerial map as much as i can, with artistic license of course. I use the 5 Story Indie Build as a layout guide, as it's easy to delete and replace if I get the layout wrong. Once happy I will study the area from aerial maps and photos of the selected site. Then I will and some different Modular builds to give it some variety and to try and match what i've found on the map ie if it's a Factory or a Neoclassical Building, or maybe a shop or a Ministry, line of shops, Bahnhof etc. This is far from perfect but gives the desired impression. Then its over to damage and I use photographs to get a rough idea where this was. I raise the height and use the rubble and other ground textures to simulate the damage plus smash up the buildings, then last of all add some flavour objects. Then hopefully I got a reasonable Berlin Map that is influenced by the real layout in 1945. Cheers BTW The Chimney looks to me like the same height as the Reichstag, which is 47m tall???? I get the Aerial Maps from this website: https://ncap.org.uk/

Here's a 1943 Aerial, really hard to place the chim but it's there???

You found exact place bud... I will extend the Reichstag maps to incorpoarte this beauty. Cheers

Great photos and research bud, some i haven't seen and very useful. Loving the new sized Chim.....

Using an unused Panther as a Rusting wreck, I prefer to use the actual models, rather than FO's as the FO's just get driven through, in fact iv'e deleted many of the FO vehicles because of this and I want some protection for troops.

Awesome bud, Ive already got a great texture for it...lol Cheers

Cheers bud Mod V2 coming soon....Cheers

LOL I'm getting there, most maps are now at a point I'm happy with, got some briefs to write and general finishing off...

LOL sorry bud, I didn't quite get what you were doing, cheers

That'll be good bud... Cheers The Barrier is just a sound file of a computer noise???? Cheers

Ok bud , yep very similar name. Cheers

Thank you bud I used to be a wildlife photographer in a previous life..... Cheers

LMAO **** um....lol I gotta a bigger B lister...
