Been very bad at posting on the forum the last while... I built this back in July!
It's "finished" but not really finished, as it needs to be integrated into the city and have roads placed wherever there's exposed baseplate around the bottom.
Loosely inspired by Tara Street but not really a model of anywhere in particular.

I'm particularly proud of the curved brick technique under the arches - you might just about be able to see how it's done in the next photo. I think this is the first time I've come up with a really genuinely new building technique that nobody's done before (to my knowledge)!

Inside there are some turnstiles and ticket machines.

Also a small shop:

And here it is partially integrated into the city, behind the hotel and pub/bookshop MOCs:

Thankfully I got previews on the WhatsApp group so didn’t have to wait forever for you to post! I really like arches but I have to admit my favourite part is the wall the arches are on. I can picture that type of wall walking around the city.

If I saw a wall walking around the city I'd run in the opposite direction!
