It really has that big city/urban look.

Reinhard,
Looks really good. I believe that plastic strip will help a lot.

You captured a very good likeness of the LA "Patch"!

Thanks for all the kind words
Well, there is a little hidden agenda. I had a very deep look on all photos and information I could find about the patch when I modeled my freelance Vernon scenery. Now I decide not to really implement anything due to two reasons a) lack of skill to do brick buildings other than styrene kits b) the time the patch got rail served does not match my preferences.
The current scenery provided the option to get some experience doing scratch build brick buildings and the time (past 2000) is right. I am very glad the Cermack Rd has a few similarities with the patch.

The glue set quite fast today. Building removed without any damage. A footprint hard like concrete stays on the ground
and the buildings fits perfect back into it's footprint

Reinhard, nice work again. You really captured the flavour of that kind of cityscape.

If the walls are close enough to the cars going between them that men can't ride on them you needs signs saying that on the outside walls.
