From the 2 designs I've seen I just want to clarify in case it was misunderstood, to use either sandstone or redbrick as the MAIN material, not necessarily both. You're free to submit such a design but I just want to make it clear that you're allowed to use either or. And also you're more than welcome to use other materials for trim and roof etc.

 

I don't really see any other block to use as a secondary block in my design :P  That said, the scheme is staying how I built it.

This is my signature and I hope you enjoy it. - Dalferes

Cool, I just wanted to make sure everyone understood they weren't required to use both. :)

I'm hoping to find some time today to work on my design, otherwise I might be spending some time offline this weekend to do it.  I love Dal's design, though!  (Not saying the others aren't good, I just love that look.)

I took it upon myself this morning to finish the exterior.  All that's left now is the interior.  With that said, this is what the design is very loosely based off of:

All finished! Really didn't take as long as I expected and it's pretty much as finished as it's going to be (aside from maybe swapping out one kind of block for another).

I went for a sort of late 1800s train station look with lots of tall windows and a large curved glass roof. It has a main floor that will sit above the cart station as well as a balcony floor with a cafe and a coffee stand.

 

Below is a shot of the ticket kiosk at the entrance of the station.

Next is a shot of the cafe on the second floor.

The coffee shop kiosk, also on the second floor.

A full shot of the entrance where people stand in line for tickets.

Some of the benches located throughout the station.

And finally, an overhead shot of the entire station.

The interior looks nice, but could we get some exterior shots?

I have awesome shoulders.

Oops, for some reason it didn't upload the exterior shots I took, here ya go.Laugh

In order these are pictures of the back, overhead, sides, and entrance.

Also, sorry about my inventory being in the pics, I took others without it but for some reason they didn't seem to save.

So just out of curiosity, when will the actual results be? I know the deadline for submissions is Tuesday, but I'm going to be moving away the following Monday. So if it's at all possible, could we do the actual build before I move away?

You know I would have loved to try and make something with my type of style, but if I started now I would miss out on my school work :P

 

Also, I think Tim's is the best so far! Well done mate!

As a heads up on my work, the exterior is actually completed, with that said, I am away as you know and won't be able to finish it until Sunday night, which is past the deadline.  I'm not asking for an extension, but rather an update on what I've actually completed.

As mentioned in the disclaimer (*which was added to the OP a few days ago), I may extend the deadline. I'm more interested in getting a really good plan that we can live with for a long time rather than announcing a winner, so, even though there are some good designs we might extend it out to give those who have ideas but haven't had time to build, or whatever. I'd like to see like 10-20 entries, but we'll see how it plays out. This building will be an iconic structure and one of the most important in the server. Thousands of people will use this building. I wanna get it right.

My entry is still on its way.  I dedicated this weekend to getting the Archive walls up, so I didn't have time to mess with it.  I'll hopefully have something by Tuesday, but pushing back the deadline would be alright with me.

I should be finishing up mine too soon. I wish good luck to everyone though and I really hope a good design is chosen for this really important structure!
