Korber Lionel Factory Build

A customer bought this older Korber kit off of Ebay. I am assembling it for him. Below are some construction photos of the work done so far. I am straying pretty far off from the instructions mainly because with the exception of the drawings identifying the walls and wall placement I find them confusing and the photos difficult to see.
I have abandoned the 3/4 inch base specified in the instructions in favor of internal flooring and need to add a second floor and a more rigid roof since almost all the walls are curved side to side and up and down.

If anyone has built this kit I would appreciate some input concerning attaching the office complex to the factory. I understand placing the office walls in the notches in walls A and B but placement of the two upper wall sections 11 and 12 (long narrow walls with notches at one end) is confusing.

Anyway below are some construction photos

I had to deal with some broken pieces first

The skylight windows were missing some vertical ?'Mullions'? so I cut out the corresponding mullions on the rest and painted a concrete color. It is hard to see but the skylight roof panels were painted black then oversprayed with 'aged iron' textured paint.

I assembled the walls for the factory and the office complex then cut and painted the internal flooring for ground level (concrete color) and second floor (black). I have started installing wood bracing for the second floor and roof in the office complex. Next up will be the factory.
