Nice bracing work, Reinhard. 
I have a question: for building flats on the backdrop or anytime you are "cutting" off a building lengthwise to make it fit against a backdrop, what do you do at the ends of the building? Looking straight on at the long side is okay since you expect to see blue sky above a building, but if you look at it from the end it looks like the building is really cut in half and missing the other part (which it is but we want the illusion that the building is bigger than what we've modeled).
I see Reinhard and others have simply butted buildings together to reduce this effect but what about buildings that are different heights? The lower building won't cover up the "missing" part of the taller building.
I believe Gary S. had these issues as well - I might have to check out his threads on painting his backdrops again to see how he overcame them.
Thanks in advance.
