A step forward or three
The 'book'used for roof textures on the commercial buildings. Not shown, a new to me at least Lemax gray road material which will go under the commercial district.
Used only about four of the couple of dozen usable textures from the book, not all of the textures are workable. Saving the book for more of these style buildings I have waiting in the wings - originally intended for Old West but 3D prints have supplanted much of that need. Probably still use a bunch to expand my options.
Got those extra bits on the church to improve its look - setting on back end to allow that dragon to dry, will see if it holds in the morning. If not, then I will get out the steel reinforced two-part epoxy.
Another submarine? Yup, this was a Houston model from The Virtual Armchair General meant for 25 mm gaming but usable in 15 mm, just need to replace the deck gun with a 15 mm model. If time allows, this will get a German crew - on the painting table so we shall see what with so much else still to do in only 15 more days.
You may need to find a way to zoom in the see the changes but work on my submarine, painted the ballast tanks to either side as well as the top of the periscope thingy and added some 'jewels' as the forward navigation bubbles, and a half dozen discs to the after end of the craft (sort of looks like ballistic missile tubes but obviously not in the time period so just extra 'detail').
Added these four small buildings one of which will be for the jungle tour boats, another for likely a guard shack for the naval pier which will get some additions about to be shown. Also got to work on those naval vessles, so far just painting the lower hull a dark blue color.
Studying the setup and thinking about ojectives, I decided to add two things and realized the can be combined into one - naval barracks and radio transmission tower. The tower is just something I've had for years (have a bunch more for other uses - like oil wells). Need to glue on the windows and doors and that will bring the constrution of buildings for the game to an end.
Still need to get work done on the tramp steamers but should make good strides tomorrow. Also will be prepping and adding a lot of details like bollards and ropes and whatever else I can come up with to the piers. A good day.
