And maybe,
you can make a photo album with photos like these,and add it into SOW's bonus disc with the titile Daily life in our studio.

Glad those hangars are a work in progress. The shadows are nice, but the hangars themselves look like something out of Red Baron.

Why do you say so? Apart of the overdone weathering, there is almost nothing wrong on this hangar....

I agree, the hangar looks virtually perfect.

However, there is definitely something not quite right with the grass. Look at it - the blades are ENORMOUS!! Quite the wrong scale. Still, I'm sure this is WIP. If not, I'd love to see the lawnmower that can hack through that stuff

What in the world are you talking about

I’m happy to see so many young talented people working on SOW. Some can make music and other art and this “crew” can fill our computers with a history lesson never possible before. Almost like a crystal ball looking backward into time.

It fills me with envy to see them at work as I myself find it hard to handle a modern cell phone.

God luck to them all!

PS! Possible to see a He 111 next Friday?

Good to see the game's coming along .. . . . and the mission briefing updates too.

HAHA...
His meaning is that,
the hangar itself looks outmoded,just like a one built in WWI,when the well-known ace Manfred von Richthofen lives.
and fortunately,it's not a Work in Completion one.

May I laugh heartily? Yes? Aaaah, thanks, it always feel so good...

1) The WW1 (fighter) hangars were mostly canvas over wood structure, sometimes wooden constructions, but not often...

2) The hangar shown is a very faithful reproduction of a Bf-110/Ju-87 class german hangar, as still (partially) existing in Rely/Norrent-Fontes airfield in North of France.

3) Its only caveat is the fact that it is weathered too much: this was not the case when this hangar was in use: it was brand new (camouflage paint instead of rust, no "old" interior paint...) and possibly that there was no white paint or whitewash in this class of hangar (usually the brickwork was apparent), but this could be construed as poetic licence...Nobody will come forward to say the opposite with any manner of certainty!

Many german fighter hangars are variations around this theme (and they were really many, many variations: out of my mind, only for France, at least 15/20 types just for concrete/masonry T-based hangars for Bf-110 or lower aircraft classes)...
Add to this fully wooden hangars, U-based hangars, simple revetments...then we could look into the bomber hangar variations then the workshop hangars variations...

These hangars were the real thing!
