Lee;
Just something that popped into my head about your last post.
Have you considered using decopage (sp) on the flats?
I have a large Photo with that treatment and everyone thinks it's an expensive oil painting!
Properly done it can add a great deal of texture to any surface.
I would add some texture - that's a super idea. But I think it would still look a marked contrast to all the plastic buildings: I'm goingto stick with plastic building fronts painted and fitted with windows just like I do on the 3D buildings for "2D" buildings from now on.
Lee,
Speaking of the rest of your town, the corner building in the second picture appears to have a rounded corner just above the bus. Is this from a kit or is it scratch built? It makes for a an intersting corner.

It is made from three Ameritown building kit building fronts and sides (the back and side facing the buildings to its right are just Evergreen brick-face styrene). The corner, with its 45 deg double door facing the corner is a plastic door kit Ibought at the LHS and custom fit at that angle, and the two-story turret above is made from PVC pipe, basswood window frames, etc.
I've got it on my workbench now and am starting to finish it. Painted all the window sills and such today. I'm going to put just a bit of a mansard type edge roof on it to make it more distinctive still.
The building will be called The Union Monitor Building - because it has one big turret.
