So I was reading this thread, and I saw this image:
And I was quite taken with the overall design, so I slowly decided to slowly replicate it in in miniature, just working off the image and its proportions. It took about 26 iterations (half for matching the source, half for the interior), but I'm pretty happy with the final result. Here it is, 5246 bricks measuring 97 by 51 bricks by 81 plates. Below are some samples; full Imgur album link: http://imgur.com/a/jMhtW.
I took some artistic liberties with some details, but overall I tried to be as faithful as possible to the source within the constraints of SmallBricks. One major area of abridgement is in the window panels, but after experimenting with several possible designs I think the final one best reflects the original proportions. I also chose a roof that peaked more and bevelled the edges on the rear 'box'. And of course the entire interior was my own improvisation.
