I'd take twice the time for half the effect you get.<br />WIndows are a pain too but your painted ones are a great solution imo.<br />Looking forward to seeing the finished model.<br />Did you take a look at the real thin using Google maps btw? It's one was to get a glimpse of the rear of the building (especially if you take the 3D view).

Back when I was working Pub mai...Excellent stuff. <br /><br />Back when I was working Pub maintenance for S&N Breweries, we once visited a pub where the entire 2nd floor living space was cordoned off at the foot of the stairs with "Danger" cordon tape as the floor wasn't safe to walk across. Not saying that I am lazy, but if I made a 3-storey pub I might just borrow from this experience ;) <br /><br />Went to another pub, in York after the River Ouse had flooded and then receded, and the derelict basement areas were sludge pits of grossness and liquefied pigeon muck - and dead pigeons. Talk about an Apocalypse experience!
