North Wales Marinas
A bit of an experimental side project to complement my North Wals POIs. The marinas around the coast need improving - the map photo half-sunken boats are a bit off-putting. I've knocked up a selection of boats - not too detailed to save on polys - and combined them to create more realistic marina/harbour areas. They look fine when flying and even at 200ft I think they stand up. Tidied up some buildings and added some night lighting.
First areas covered :
Conwy marina
Conwy quay
Deganwy marina
Bangor marina
Until Asobo and/or Seafront Simulations sort out Wales I am happy to continue. Comments and suggestions are welcome but remember this will always be a compromise between detail and effort/time needed to create something you fly over.

I've managed to add a splash of colour to the boats (thanks to Archer374 for the suggestion). Not gone overboard (excuse the pun!) - tried to keep it subtle. Also added extra detail to Conwy estuary. I'm grateful for the feedback and will continue around the coast!

Added Holyhead and Pwllheli
Fantastic job. How about having starting parking points at the marinas since we now have amphibian planes available. It’s a lot of fun to start up the engine at a dock and perform a water takeoff

Not a bad thought - I've been enjoying flying bagolu's amphibious C172. I'll see what I can do.

I love what you are doing for North Wales. Just wondering if you have any plans to bring Portmerion to us?

Nice work. thanks. The boats look very good. I think that's enough detail and variation. Will you give the docks and ships a little more colour in the future.

Thank you. I will have a play with textures to see if I can add a splash of colour. Once I get in the swing, I may also improve the detail of the quays and surroundings.
