I really like the style of your scene. The initial pieces were amazing, but the compound scene seems very repetitive. Often in architecture you may see the same windows for instance, but they are staggered in height on the building. I think you need to mix some of the stuff up so it isn't so repetitive.

Your building blocks look great!

shwenkerbean : like arran said and i said lol im just kinda blocking out the scene i got some more reference images today to create the other two buildings so their should be an update up tomorrow.

ive started texturing the building just as a bit of a break from modelling just laying out uv's at the moment and working on the basic back brick texture of the first building.
And just starting to put some sketches together for the other two buildings.

Its looking great, it has the potential for some real nice camera angles...

A small crit/question regarding the tables, are the table 'stands' the right size in width as they seem a little wide.

cheers
