Hi,

Just a few screenshots today.
Shots from development tools. WIP.

Working drawbridge and pilots

If you’ll find anything wrong with our screenshots, please let us know.
For example our colors are based on a blend of period B&W and more modern color photos. However we don’t have any color photos of the Tower Bridge from 1940. If you see anything wrong with the paints we used, we’d be glad to see any reference you might supply.

Nice to see you got the traffic driving on the left too!

Thanks Oleg

Will they also have different face geometry or just different skins?

Different geometry.

Beautiful details on the pilot models! Especially the gear!

Although I don't think the British had german harnesses! (it says "DREHEN, DANN DRÜCKEN" on the harness lock

)

But seriously, really nice work!

This is awesome! Keep it up. The attention to detail is simply WoW

Tower Bridge has recently been undergoing major restoration. They have been carrying out paint analysis to see what colours the bridge used to be. I have seen a picture showing layers of paint going back to the 1960s, but no earlier. I am making further enquiries to see what I can find about the 1940s.

OK, so according to an official source from Tower Bridge itself ...

"As far as we know, records indicate that the Bridge was painted a bright chocolate colour in the 1940s, which is the same colour you can still see inside the Bridge."

Hope this helps
