Thank you all for your comments.
Pete, that means a great deal coming from you.
Rich, the textures are all standard, not sure how most people work but I sort my textures into a file first, then take them through PS. The brick above was Yellow! and it saves so much time in PP.
Adam, You've got me blushing!
John

Lee, Thank you. This one is just made up, I wasn't sure if it should be derelict/run down so I settled half way. For the render I used V-Ray.
Kristoff, time is one thing in ample supply!
John

Beyond the gates...

Leedeetee, hope this works! removed materials & purged it's stll almost 4mb, must be the windows increasing the size.

Waiting Rooms skp.skp

TIG I remember the late father in laws words.. "John marry her, I'll give you a thousand pounds and a cow" 20yrs and I'm still waiting for the money.
Dale, we all need a donkey!
Kristoff, you'll have me blushing again, the beauty of Sketchup is anyone can learn it. 2yrs ago I was push-pulling boxes.
John

Bloody hell Tig, now i'm suicidal

True Rich she's like a ghost....I wish lol

A small railway station waiting room, a lot of work must have gone into building this one. Anyway the wife said I'm not paying enough atention to the family.... so I placed the Mother in Law in the second image.
John

Kristoff, Thank you as always.
Pyroluna, Thank you for your comments also. Small windows are not a problem here, we have Electricity, flick a switch and the lights come on! its bloody brilliant stuff, we even have Gas if it gets cold. The reason for the tiling to the grass was a problem with Moles, anyway one dismissed that gardener after that little fiasco

John

Marius, there's only one word to describe your work...class. The texturing on those last pics are superb!
regards John

Kristoff, thank you, It's the small details that count but it's hard to know what not to draw or what won't be seen.
John

James, thank you. Your comments are always welcome.
TIG, thank you also. These are all modelled "by eye" from pictures I find on the web, the hardest part is finding something to draw. I’ve made a Tutorial that’s on James site but I’m not sure if I’m allowed to link it here. The old buildings have character and I love craftsmanship that went into constructing them, unlike the modern boxesof today; today’s tradesmen (I use the word lightly) couldn’t hold a candle to the old boys! It seems there all chasing the money now and no longer have any pride in their work.
Regards John

A small lodge

Click on the material in your model, right click choose texture, position, right click and rotate 90. Hope this helps.
John

Bob, Thank you. The flat idea sounds great with no link to the main house!. I think the garage doors makes it look American, they have better doors than us. I drew this because I'm completely out of ideas, it's a week looking for ideas and a day drawing at the moment.
James , Thank you. The first two images are Photosketcher, it's a great piece of software if done lightly IMO.
John

Stuart, Thanks. All of my models are just for fun.
John, Thanks again, you'll have me blushing!
Another View....

when the Lottery win comes my way, I'll build this for the wife.....and a bloody big one for me miles away

Superb as always

Pete, in 10yrs time maybe that will be low end, who knows the rate technology's going! be patient

A still Sunday morning....
