@ Gaieus, Thank you. I did a quick change for you 
@ Box, Thank you. I agree with it being too new, I could have altered the stones but then you have mapping problems. I forgot to alter the window!

Hello Adam, thanks for your suggestions. I'm new with V-ray and coming from podium its taking a bit of figuring out." increase the sun size multipler to soften your shadows slightly ", the manual will have to come out again
. Thanks John
Hello Dylan, thanks. Its V-ray and attatched is the raw render. John

Hello Cadmunkey, Thanks. These are modelled from floorplans dowloaded as a brochure from a national housebuilder. I usually model from old photographs (see my other posts)and this was a way of obtaining something to dimention from.
Thanks John
Hello Axeonalias, your completely correct I never noticed. I have no dimensions to work from only old pics and you sometimes get so ingrossed you can't see the trees for the woods. 
This grand old building will soon be demolished! It's the last remaining building in what was the towns main shopping street.
Nice one, your first render is allways the big one. Try with a little reflection to the materials
Axeonalias, not much people can say, the model and rendering say it all
Ecofeco, agree Sketchup is a great program
Liam887, Dirt added, took longer than the model 

Ward Jackson Park, Gatehouse Hartlepool. This once great little building is now abandoned after our Council in all its wisdom turned it into offices! Like a lot of towns here, most of the old buildings are either gone, derelict, wine bars or banks.

Thanks for the welcome lads, Escapeartist, the stone texture is Arroway.

Hello Axeonalias, I typed "cart" into download models and its on page 2. BTW your models and renders are an inspiration. John
Hello Horseman04, great render, any tips on how you achieve the brickwork looking so realistic as yours. I,ve tried bump maps and never came close to your results. Thanks in advance and Happy new year to all . John
