the model of the building seams good i'd look into the area where the brick and render work meets as thier should be a hard edge there thats slightly raised. also the brick work texture needs some work to make it more tileable theres a very obvious seam on the corner where the stairs are.

nice model would work in almost any engine again i would look at the texture at the top portion of the building the windows you can see what looks like the top of a set of windows at the bottom of the texture. maybe scale the windows up a bit.

Please type out your damn words, this is an internet forum, not a collection of impatient text messages.

Secondly, your models are not "bad", they could use some work here and there, but mainly you can learn that by looking at other models on forums and what not.

Where you need to put in a lot of effort is your texturing. It is painfully obvious that you just smacked together a lot of images untill the result somewhat resembled the real thing.

Try go watching some tutorials, and look more into the detail and finesse rather than just smacking something together..

Good luck mate.
