MOC: Edwardian Terraced House

[SeaKing61]

This is a model I made of my parent's house that I grew up in. It is my first attempt at an accurate piece of architecture based on a real building. It is around double minifig scale; I based the scale on the construction of the bay windows. I also foreshortened the model so that it could be displayed more easily and so had to make the main roof much steeper. I'm most proud of the bay windows and the wizardry that was necessary to create the white and red arches on the first floor. I wasn't sure if Town is the right forum for it, but there seemed to be various scale buildings in here. Mods, please let me know if it should be elsewhere.

Great one! You've captured all the details perfectly.

This is fantastic!  The scale is deceptive at first glance, and you've made great use of it.  Wonderful job capturing so many of the details and design elements, and you've kept the look even with the foreshortening.  Would love to see the entire facade done this way!

Ah very nice!  I'm very familiar with these type houses, as they're all over the UK, and you've captured it perfectly!  And though I'm not a mod, I can tell you this is the right forum for your MOC!

Good job! I like it a lot.

Thanks all, I am very proud of it. It has now taken pride of place in my parent's entrance hall

Thanks
