Description: Alexishafen Cathedral for CFS2 by UncleTgt


This is an eye candy object I made mainly in support of my reworking of the scenery for the Madang/Alexishafen area of Papua New Guinea.


This cathedral was a large landmark object on the shore at Alexishafen. It was built by the German settlers prewar as part of a large Catholic Mission. On occupation by the Japanese it began to be used for storing munitions, so became a target for Allied air raids. Destroyed during a large B24/B25 raid in September 1943, it was never rebuilt.


It is multi LOD & has a damaged model as well.

Strange to see a building like this in the SW Pacific.

Kurt,

You got me!

TBH, I took a few liberties with the textures.

The original had a sturdy wooden clapperboard exterior, but I thought it looked bland & somehow "wrong", with the ornate windows & doors, so gave it a stonework appearance instead...
