Thanks for all the kind comments,this is the first time i've used card/paper for my building, wasn't to sure how they would turn out,i usually work in plastic.
The windows are a bit of a compromise,tried printing on clear plastic,but the only colour that worked well was cream,then thought about building them out of plastic strip this would have taken for ever,so i decided to print them on to paper.
The beauty of this is i can have different window design for each building,and print them by the sheet,i've add blinds to some of the windows,some have even cracked glass,though i'm not a 100% happy with them, i think they don't look to bad when they are all together on the layout.
All the doors are made from card,i found 2 different types of textured card at my local craft shop, one looked like boards the other looked like roller doors,so it was just a matter of making each door painting and glueing in place.
The next job is to add all the small detail, pipes, signs etc.
