Well I think I will stay with the white permanent pen method. It has the best cost value ration for. A technique based on patience and precision is very likely to fail if applied by me.....
The point of some modern commercial buildings is very valid and was included in my first thought. Funny thing is that Antwerp is still going with the older buildings.

What they are doing is to use the old structures in an efficient way and do not spend extra effort in lots of wonderful paintings. Some brick has been covered with plaster. I will follow that examples and refrain from doing a museum. There is also only very little advertising at the buildings. But they are fans of marquee.
Did this building yesterday afternoon

I did a short trip to the LHS nearby in Boeblingen and got this long grass (12mm / 0.47in).![[Image: file_zpsf2ac5670.jpg]](http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae149/faraway52/Misc-3/file_zpsf2ac5670.jpg)
A first try with Noch Grassmaster looks good.

We will see what is left after the glue has set and the vacuum did it's job
They offered extreme detailed Faller plats made of edged brass and hand painted. Got an assortment and will try it some times later as super details. However the steep price prohibits any wide use.
