I am currently working on a DOD Source map called dod_bastogne. This map will be inspired from building of Bastogne in Belgium. The battle really happened outside the city but I still wanted to make a city map so I based this map on real building that exist today and probably existed back in WWII.

I will keep posting on the progress of the map and received any idea for modification to make it better. There will be a thread up soon in the forum.

The fist building I made was the Bastogne church called Église Saint-Pierre, located in the middle of the city. This will also be located in the middle of the map and will be the master piece building of the map. The outside of the church is made of all custom textures except for the roof part. Tower, sides and windows are all custom textures. Some textures will be made available here to mappers as soon as the map is out (and DOD Source is out too of course).

Here is a real image of the church followed by a in game image of my remake of it:

Here is a image of the clock that will go on the tower, the model is made but need to be imported into Hammer:
