Trust me, kids - as a Weymouth resident, this is a fabulous improvement. Loving the old gasworks, the Nothe Fort and the railway bridge.

Excellent work so far, looking great.


Take care and be safe.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Some more pics of recent work. I've just started on Fort Verne. I can't believe that they turned this historical landmark into a prison.

Some lovely little touches in there - I can't recall seeing Sandsfoot Castle in a flight sim before. 

The Verne's an interesting old place, fascinating to walk around.

Ive been to the verne when i worked with the immigration service a few years back - seemed a very bleak place even then.

I didn't realise that it began its history as a prison camp, a bleak place indeed PO_MAK_249RIP.

Thank you for the interesting website AndyH. This is what I love about a project like this, searching for old photographs of the various areas and learning a bit about the history. The weird thing is that through my interest in Bob and SE England over the years from Bob2 modding and Il2clod, and now this project, I am more familiar with SE England than my own country.

Glad you liked the site and hope you found it useful - there's nowhere quite like Portland, I can't tell you how happy I am to see the place get some TLC. 

I'll leave you to your own devices, secure in the knowledge that you'll do the best job possible with the resources at hand (Portland strikes me as terrain builder's nightmare), but if you want any info' or local input, just sing out.

Created a narrow jetty object, seen here at the Weymouth harbour entrance to allow for detailed harbour creation which will be needed for Sheerness, Portsmouth and Southampton which I will be tackling soon.

I've just finished Portsmouth, complete with Nelson's Victory, created with Blender. Again I used period photographs as a reference.

Absolutely GOBSMACKED at the amount of work you just poured in here!! Wow! Deserving of a hearty BRAVO!!!

Thanks mate! It took a while to put this one together, shaping the coastline, placing objects, then reshaping until I got it more or less right, and I enjoyed every second of it. I've already started on Southampton.
