Starting up a map project for a certain island of importance for the cold war period.

Yes, lots of empty terrain with rocks

#

A savannah-ish like island with the way the grass it out there

This is a real place on the map?

#

Or simulated?

deft junco May 19, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

fresh lava This is a real place on the map?

Real place, its the falkland island

specifically stanly airport and the areas nearby

#

Stanly airport, Stanly the city

and also many of the mountain ranges.

Its not going to be a 1:1 as the map is big enough to where the city and airport may have to be simplified although mainly the city probably has to.

stanley dock area, still messing around with it.

Stanley will likely be the only urban area for the map.

i have no experience with model making or anything that would be required to make those, however someone outthere probably will.

If you plan on doing the other island will you include HMS Coventry's wreckage?

HMS Coventry is outside of the scope of the map im making so probably not, and i only plan to make this one map of the falklands as im betting the people who previously made falkland maps are likely going to do so again. I will probably after this or during move on to making maps in europe.

Sadly the map broke due to me saving over it while doing some test, However

In the night and day of me trying to figure out how to make a bigger map, the map has gone from its 7 km by 7 km to a much better 28 km by 28 km, although in this process of course the parts that i made will be broken and i will have to remake them. but i prefer having much more space between the area where the argentines were fighting and the british were coming from

While cool to hear, aren't you slightly concerned about biting off more than you can chew with a 738 km² terrain?

deft junco May 22, 2023, 2:04 AM

#

slim lake While cool to hear, aren't you slightly concerned about biting off more than you...

its honestly going to be a project that i do time to time, so its not going to be something i rush on, i chose the falklands specifically because i can learn terrain modifying the most since thats honestly what its mainly going to be outside of stanley airport and stanley itself.

#

afterall, most of the terrain is open, hilly, obviously has a lot of rocks.

The most annoying part is really going to be the gigantic coastline.

#

and the mountain pieces.

slim lake May 22, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

Fair.

deft junco May 22, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

im hoping that by the time i get onto doing some parts, there will be more assets for me to use to replace parts i have.

deft junco and the mountain pieces.

Kudos to your resolve
I'm sure you'll learn quite a bit from taking on such a large project

#

Do what you can G

some pictures from the new city spots.

#

the Stanley port is now a bit more accurate to what it is now that there is a lot more room for me to place stuff, previously the port and the gulf area that it was in was so small that you could probably jump a ramp to the peninsula across the way.

The government house is also present, however if i had a model for a government building that fit the actual government house i'd love to use it.
