I really like the buildings. Two suggestions on the small building: (i) you
might want to consider offsetting the front door to one side and putting
another window in beside it - that would give the impression of a first
floor apartment (this just looks like an apartment building); and (ii)
underneath said window you could create a window at ground level to imply a
basement.

Thanks, Tim. That’s good advice. I’ll see what I can do.

Hey, Tim-
I took your advice and moved the door-- I’ll have pics after our upcoming show
this weekend. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Your buildings have given me much inspiration in the past so I am honored to
be able to "give back" a bit. :-)
