They've yet to add the handlebar mustache. Perhaps he'll look more British then...

Oleg.
I must say Wonderful job!

I do wonder. How will the Bridge work? Will it only be open\close or will it notice a ship coming close... traffic stops...open... ship passes... close... traffic starts?

There should not be any railings between the pavement and the road. These have only been added recently. The pavements look too wide to me. This photo is from the period 1948-66



From memory, the road edge should line up with the inside of the archway. There is no pavement inside the arch, just around the outside.

But these are minor points. The overall appearance is great

O and did anyone notice the German truck in the picture? Look likes is carrying AAA and something covered with Canvas.
Guess they did get to London.

The man's right. Also, I think I read somewhere that the bridge was really dirty before it was cleaned post-war....can't remember where I heard that though.?

At a first glance the submerged pillars of the tower bridge look false, as water depth doesn't affect their visibility. In other words they should fade out as depth increases, instead they look homogeneously visible.

Too much work put into it in other words but for me it ain't a problem

The tower should be more dirty.
The London smog of the early 1900s took it's toll on the bridge before it was cleaned shortly after the war.
The soot covered stone work made the white paint at the top stand out much more than it does today.

The current texture doesn't show the high tide line either.
Below the tide line the bridge was much cleaner because it was not exposed to the smog as much.

Finlay, the round towers at the corners stick out a little too much.

The railings are, indeed modern and should not be there.

For Comparison:

All taken between 1939 and 1946. So it needs to be a lot darker/dirtier. And the road needs to be changed as well as the insignia on the main strut needs to be removed.
