Here is the wall with the first set of details applied.

When I cut thin strips from a sheet of styrene, I usally do it with a scalpel applying only little pressure, so that it may take 2 or even 3 passes to cut the strip. Cutting with putting only little pressure on the blade gives me better control and allows to cut very thin strips like the .012 x .012" I used for the wires on the wall. And it helps to use a thin ruler like the triangle I use for cutting.

To appy very small details like the handles on the electrical boxes, I dip the end of a thin strip into glue, put it into place, wait a few seconds for the glue to stick and the cut the strip off. Works much better than cutting those small parts first and trying to apply them using a pair of tweezers.
