The next step was to assemble the depot walls. So far so good, a few crooked windows and a smudge of paint or some glue leaks, but these are all fixable.
The base trim and the trim set about 3' off the ground are suppose to be white. Painting either one is a chore, and nearly impossible to keep straight lines, so my solution is to leave the middle trim brick (I think it looks better this way anyway), and I took some "I" beam and cut off the outside flanges, painted it concrete and glued it over the base trim (as shown in this photo). I got nice straight lines and it is a lot easier to touch up when the time comes.
