Here is a pic of some of the other parts, clockwise from top left are Tichy parts for smokestacks, laser cut acylic windows (with protective paper still attached) and the window frames, and door. Lightly rubbing the window frames on fine sandpaper freed them from the resin matrix with little flash remaining.
Here I've added the styrene strip used to model the concrete courses at the bottom of the wall, and I've painted the wall.
Window installation is a bit different than usual, and very easy. The acrylic window glass is glued in place from the rear, the rear of the walls have indentations cast into them to accept the glazing. Then the window frame castings are glued to the acrylic. You can see what I mean in the first photo, look at the inside of the rear wall though the front windows. Here, I've installed the windows, have started the wood platform, and built a loading door.
