Stark raving bonkers!

Sir, I salute you!

I love the fact that you got almost to the end of the building, and then decided that what would make it look really great was to do the bricks on both sides. Insane, brilliant!

Seriously, I can hardly wait to see these painted up...

This is great stuff here, you did a fantastic job carving out the bricks and setting the arches. Be proud, can't hardly wait to see it finished.

I finished number 2 tonight:

Here is the makeshirt jig I am using to ensure everything is square when its glued together.
See, I knew those 5 file boxes of unpainted lead would come in useful one day....

Thanks to everyone for the continued encouragement.

@Theomar Pius: I have a long way to go to reach your standards.
I spent ages looking at your buildings and WIPs tonight, outstanding stuff

After a couple of weeks without any time I have now made a bit more progress.

Here is the third and final part:
This proved the most difficult as I had to incorporate the bridge/tunnel entrance without weakening the structure too much.
Consequently I ended up trying to get way too many parts to stick together at the same time, but it came out OK in the end.

Here is the complete row of arches:

And the rear, after I decided to model the brickwork on both sides rather than just leave it blank.

The 3 parts can be moved around to suit.

As an educated guess there are around 12,000 bricks individually impressed.

Anything after this can only be easier!

Painting will likely be delayed until I have completed a few more buildings.
I'm already at the planning stage for a Boozer and Tube Station.

Ruddy fantastic Overlord. A true labour of love. Can't wait to see it painted.

The only thing that's bothering me is - isn't it going to make for a rather linear game?!

Absolutely beautiful work

The intention is to usually have the arches along a table edge, providing a bit of a backdrop. The bridge/tunnel entrance gives at least one point of access to this edge.
I am intending to build a set (or 2) of removeable steps up onto the railway line at some point, not least so that I can run a Great Train Robbery scenario.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Oh mama! No one is going to be able to compete - your work is truly outstanding.

Any suggestions for suitable names for the pub and Tube station? I hope the latter will be serving Watney's Red Barrel and pork scratchings!
