1. Artwork at the walls
There is no hurry. Jens, take all time you need if you have an idea that needs some time to develop. I will not "glue" the buildings to the layout within the next weeks or so
2. Stripes
I did the details like electric installation etc. of the walls to early. That makes working with masking tape a risky thing. I will try to do it with decals for safety reasons.
3. Weathering
Two less visible walls got a very soft weathering. I did not like it and gave the walls another layer of white from the spray can. It might be not perfect prototypical but the dull primer white gives me the perfect imagination of a white wall in the sun of southern California
Reinhard,
Did you try framing the 4 Seasons sign to eliminate the paper edge? Maybe a .020 square plastic tube border. I am using a .060 plastruct square tubing to border all my structures. This allows for a actual place for the building to set withing the border and I can remove the structure to scenic right up to the edge of the border.
