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?

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
