More buildings on the Virtual Workbench

Paul Re: Dinghy shed.
I discovered that the pot-belloy stove was to the right as you enter the building and the stove pipe came out the top of the roof.

An example i measured, drew, and built was found at Ingham.

Hope this helps

Here's the start of my latest offering a 518/40 Watch Office.



Thats all the external walls & opening done next job is inside.

Added some ground floor internal walls.

Complete restart on the Deenethorpe Control Tower model...

This time it will end up as the tower was by VE-Day, so I've added the lettering to the front wall along with the hooded obstruction light.
Everything else still needs to be added to the roof though, so I'll have to work dimensions out for the Seco control cabin which replaced the runway board frame sometime after February 1945.



I've just noticed I've forgotten to add the rocket launch tube on the balcony too.

More additions:



All the best,

Looking good fellow modellers. I look forward to completion. I got the walls up on my CT but the cement render keeps falling off:)

Coming along slowly, signals square, ident letters and Stevenson screen added with reference to an early 1945 aerial photo:



Plonked into GE to see how it looks:



All the best,
PB

I'll get on and finish that tower that I'm drawing soon been a tad busy though.
That model looks great Paul.

More twiddling, mainly installing openable window frames...

Model Converter X may help as well, regarding getting these models into a sim-usable format, however I'm seeing a lot of modelling here that looks superb but will bring most peoples' PCs to a crawl because of the number of polygons (kills FS9) and presumably texture calls (kills FSX)?

As has already been said, you need to simplify models a lot for them to be usable in the sim after placing more than one or two - or you need to alter the scenery complexity that they are placed at so that those with slower PCs can turn buildings off if necessary. Transparencies are a pain in the backside in FSX as well, less so in FS9.

Sorry to be a pain, but the information may be of use?

Cheers,

Ian P.

Ta Ian, I'll bear that in mind.
