My Flat

My place is a ground floor and is the red door, you can probably see by the brickwork that originally it wasn't always a flat, but a workshop in a row of Victorian terraced housing. In the 1980's developers built through the workshop - you can still see the archway and dropped kerb that was the access to the premises.

This is a raw Twilight render - no photoshop(yet). Any comments/critique greatly appreciated.

Great job

Cheers chaps.

I must say, when I have had a few 'lemonades' in the pub I have sometimes tried to open the blue door!

I think it's a UK-USA thing english-english. I had an Austin Healy one time and the generator was referred to as a dynamo. Is it still?

EDIT Very nice render whether it's a flat or apartment I like the word flat

That's not a language vs language difference though. Here's an article: http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-dynamo-and-vs-generator/

Thanks chaps! I hadn't actually thought that some of our overseas friends may not have understood the word 'flat'! I suppose when you think about it, it makes no real sense. A bit like Mrs Tee.
