Hi chaps,

A little update.

I have modified the pen 3d model to create an additional pen model a "center" pen eg. one that has openings through either side in addition to the exisitng left and right pen models so all the center pens eg. number 2-13 are connected whilst the left and right pens (14 and 1) are closed at the ends.

I have also added a new "ceiling" to the pens to try and replicate the steel rods in the cement and also added pen numbering to the connecting doorways.

Based on Han Solo's fantastic animated sub-pens plus pen numbering on the front, new "middle sub pen model", all pens are inter-connected and have numbering internally as well as a new internal ceiling texture.

Back to testing,

Cheers

It looks good! Did you use any actual plans or just photos?

I found a good picture detailing the ceiling (not Nazaire, other base)

There are more here http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/war-sea/8201-u-boat-pens-2.html. See also pages 3 and 4. Maybe it helps.

Here, I tried to make some seamless texture to match the corrugated steel ceiling in this picture of Nazaire:

Hi mate,

It doesn't matter, before or after multi-mod fix or super turms mod but definitely AFTER HanSolo's animated sub pens mod.
