Familiar with this image. As Art Nouveau as it gets. Been tempted to give it a go myself. Would be cool to try and model some of the Nouveau style Paris subway gates also.
An intriguing project! I notice that nature has had no trouble making it's own contribution in the form of the ivy growing up the tower. The first render showing (I think) sunrise is excellent.
You're very kind HornOxx. I'm certainly no plumber or electrician but Sketchup has been invaluable in helping me to get things done and, indeed, understand why I was doing it! A slimmed down version of the Layout file I used is attached.

Really nice render. Well done!. The pebbles are having a strong bump map that makes them somehow unrealistic. except that everything is done carefully.

Is the second one ceramic?
Yes. I didn't make the brown color dark enough to match the glaze they used on them because the detail would disappear.
Things like these aren't really all that complicated to model but because of their small size, the brown one is less than 4 in. tall and the glass one is less than 3, it takes a bit of a different approach in SketchUp to get the smooth surfaces.
And thank you!
Good luck. FWIW, post processing doesn't have to be all that complex. Get the hang of working with layers and how to blend them. That'll be most of the battle I think.
Impressive! I hadn't looked at a Pano before and have to say that it's a whole different level of presentation. Intrigued by the substantial roof construction - is it for a helipad?
Just so you know, it's easier for SketchUp to handle a lot of raw geometry (many faces in the same context), than a lot of groups/components.
Having a lot of raw geometry will make the file bigger and less editable, but it will be much faster to display.
