Looking good Shane!  :-*

Those bay windows are the business. Looking forward to the next update.

Brick sheets came today so I got cracking on one of the windows. Not 100% happy with my brick painting efforts but happy overall with how it looks.

Looking good.  :-* The bay window brickwork looks well in isolation and it will be interesting to see the facade of the house when completed. The trick will be to capture that grimy and atmospheric Victorian era feel without making it too dark.

Been a while but made a little progress on this.
Any advice on roof tiles?

Excellent. Great shape, too. That's exactly what my table needs. Although, I'm a bit scared to start something like that.

It will also make an excellent terrace, if you put several together (no pressure!).

What are you planning on roofing it with?

At the moment the roof is either going to be oshiro roof tiles and making something myself.

I think the next terrace houses will be a more straight forward design.
