Noted, though it's more public service announcement here. ;) Handsome work.

I rather like the Flagship submarine at dock; do wonder at where they are off to...

Also, quite taken by the fourth image; that fellow on the penny farthing seems in a most ungentlemanly, and DANGEROUS, hurry!  lol

Its all from Oshiro :- two small Warehouses, the new low level entry, the small chimney and two outhouses.
Glad to see my buildings getting an outing  :)
Yes, they are very nice I think James. What's needed now is a side wall with door and windows to convert shops in a different style. Also factory walls and gates would be nice.
On a different tack, when will the Residency building from your Mars extravaganza be available for us mere mortals?

Good question, when will it be ready Mr Bibbly?

The same time as Nick's balloon  lol

To be honest, I don't know but it will be soon given the amount of attention.

Also, the factory walls are a grand idea along with some smaller utilitarian buildings  :)

cheers

Amongst small utilitarian buildings you mention, perhaps a lower version of the back yards? This would allow the use of the outhouse with a half height door and the lower wall with a gate as an animal pen ~ ideally a pig stye of course for The Empress. Chicken coop comes to mind too.
When I were a lad, as they say, in the 1950's we lived in a row of Victorian terraces and at least three neighbours kept chickens out the back and one had kept a pig into the early 1950's I recall. Just a thought.

I thought I recognised the warehouses but I've not seen the link pieces. Nice. I like the idea of factory walls and gates.
