Hi Reinhard
As an aside, but still on the subject of faced cardboard model buildings, perhaps you might like to have a look at the following video.
The layout won't be of interest as it's based on an old terminus in London, England at the end of the steam era (early to mid 1960s), however, the creator has used Adobe photoshop to draw the buildings to scale from photographs, which are then printed onto printer paper, cut out out and fixed to card. Further copies are printed and used as overlays to build up relief in the brickwork and acetate glued behind the window frames. Apart from that, there appears to be very little added detail apart from perhaps some weathering to blend the buildings with their surroundings, but the effect , in my opinion, is brilliant.
I hope this isn't a little random, however, I think you'll be impressed.
