Here you can see a screen of my work in SketchUp (retouched with Adobe Photoshop ;D):

And this is my only reference image and the reason because i have started this model:

Elkhart, IN
527 South Main Street, Elkhart, IN 46516

You can see the photo here: http://cdm1819-01.cdmhost.com/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/isl4&CISOPTR=114&REC=5

The Bucklen Opera House was built in 1884 by Herbert Bucklen. At some point it was converted to a movie theater and the name was changed to the Bucklen Theater. A Kimball organ was installed in the Bucklen Theater in 1915. Movies were shown at the Bucklen Theater until 1956.

In 1986 the Bucklen Theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places. That same year the Bucklen Theater was demolished and replaced by a parking lot.

Bucklen theater ::: VRay for SketchUp render - 001

My first render with VRay for SketchUp
No change any texture. Only one light.

Great modeling . Is the roof completely finished? (when the main roof meets with others doesn't seem to jive, or is it just me?)

With the light i have put is not easy to see. I have to learn to make textures in VRay for SketchUp, sorry!

Duplicating the buildings...

Oh, thanks! I'm a little obsessive with the cleanliness of my models.

I spends several hours to clean my models. I do not like lines leave laying around but it just gives me more or less 10-15% less sides in my models
