In the South

[fast car]

I have second thoughts watching the structure in it's place. Should I replace the inner curved wall of the building with a straight wall?
Would that a) look better b) be more prototypical? I did see in Vernon lots of buildings with one curved side following a given track but none of the buildings has the curve on the other side too. May be I overdid it with both walls curved?

Some time later....
I gave it a try. Straight wall is ok but the building is very dominating now. Would be fine in the background but in the foreground? May be I have to sit another day behind this new wall hiding my beloved layout...


Some more time later....
This is leading to nowhere. Both versions of the building are out of proportion for the layout and the place of the layout. The old building is back and I will scan Vernon again and again for a suitable/shrinkable prototype.

Reinhard,

I like your curved structure. I think what your are feeling is the fact that it is bumped right up to the edge of your layout. I ran into this with my structures and was the main reason for adding a road to the front. If you could add a 4" section along the edge to give the impression of a road along the front side might reduce the feeling of massiveness. Also, once you get windows, doors and loading dock doors cut in to the building should help to reduce its size. All your seeing right now is a big block of "white plastic". After looking at your curved building and comparing it to Kurts, it pretty much occupies the same amount of space. I always admire your work.
