Working with the Queensland vernacular

Over the past little while I have been drawing some inspiration from my hometown, and have been attempting to model some houses in the Queensland vernacular. Traditional Queensland buildings are beautiful and often very quaint. So far I have modelled two houses and a pub, and I am quite pleased with the results so far.

This house features a bay window at the front, and a small verandah.
This house has a verandah that runs the length of the front of the building, and also has a staircase out the back.

This pub is quite typical of traditional pubs around the state, with its' wrap around verandah and roof with a changing pitch. I'm quite happy with the detail that I have managed to get into this model, including the weatherboard cladding on the outside and the arches on the verandahs.

I'm going to see if I can make a town centre scene using this pub as the basis. I wish I could afford to purchase all these models! Haha
