Arnos Grove or is it East Finchley
 

 
Round and Round we go,
glass and brick, Art Deco.
Holden’s influence was more hands on here, more geometric curves in his  designs. 
 
The station's hall is built on rising ground adjacent to the railway bridge. 
This station feature lofty ship figure heads of a kneeling archers.
 
THE MODEL.
Round is not as hard as you think, by curving paper around the model station's block woodwork, a radius is form and you have your first Art Deco design feature.
Colour is also important, bold blues and whites and lots of printed glass bricks will help.
I used simple  black plastic fencing, to crisscross the viaducts
Remember building  up on the base board will give you dimension, as in the real world, nothing is flat.
 

 
 
I added the kneeling archers. to the design by scanning a photo and adding to printout.

By using large grey pavers paper print throughout the model, help add to the realism to my design.
