Well I have complete 2 new buildings for the GATS MichLUG display in January.
And got a good start on another.

The first was White with Blue trim:

The second, which I will be changing the design soon is a Townhouse style
building.  I wanted to make two buildings right next to each other but save on
the mating wall bricks.  This is what came of that:

The third, is Blue with Tan trim.  This one  has store front windows, which for
the show will have some sort of items, probably sporting goods.

I really need to start figuring out what these buildings would be for, so I can
call them a bookstore, grocery store, hotel or whatever, instead of naming them
by there colors. Thanks for looking. Suggestions and comments appreciated.

I like the window trim on the blue & white building as well as the blue &
tan building. The unit on the roof is cool too. (it is something I need to
add to my buildings).

Jason & All,

Great buildings BTW! It was great seeing them in person.

The first was White with Blue trim:

This looks good. It can be either a municipal building, a library, or
perhaps an office building. Maybe a small college?

The second, which I will be changing the design soon is a Townhouse style
building.  I wanted to make two buildings right next to each other but save > on the mating wall bricks.  This is what came of that:

Great job. I would love to see a row of these. Finally, a plae where
wandering minifigs can live! : )

The third, is Blue with Tan trim.  This one  has store front windows, which > for the show will have some sort of items, probably sporting goods.

What, no toy store? ; )

Thanks for the compliments.  I have been trying to make each building
semi-unique with it's window and door arrangments.  I had a couple of other
ideas for the blue&tan but nothing struck me as all that interesting until I
found the inverse tan slopes.  (Actually these aren't normal inverse slopes,
they are the [4871 Slope Brick 45 4 x  2 Double Inverted] piece., I think these
actually made the building more stable.)  As far as the cooling unit, I right
now have one design that I like a lot that I have been putting on all my new
buildings.
