Bryan, Josh , thanks much

Old school mid century futurism. Nice!

Thanks Bryan

"... it gets the point across." ... very funny (and a groaner!).

Try lowering FOV. The perspective is too distorted.

Thank you all so much for the kind words!!

Blender Eevee gives the fastest result but drops some calculations that are intangible IMO in architectural visualization.

ntxdave , Mike , thanks guys

Hi RSW I am digging around the net looking for details of the Darlington Locomotive Works with a view to making an N scale 3D printed copy to go with my N scale 60163 locomotive. Do you know if there are any dimensioned drawings of the building? Your 3D Sketchup drawing is the first I have found that has the possibility of being useful. If you are able to make some measurements available it would be greatly appreciated. I live in Christchurch New Zealand so it is a bit complicated just to pop down and get the measurements my self. Thank you and best regards. Alex

Your usual great stuff

Many thanks Brian and Bryan

Bryan , shawb many thanks for the positive comments.

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. SU Layout 2015 version.layout

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

Thanks majid!

thank you
