Hi Pete,

thanks for your reply.

Some short answers:

   I did enjoy it, you captured the ornate details on the facade well. Pity LEGO doesn’t make terracotta roof tiles, the red looks too new, but what can we do :^)

I bought new and used slopes for the roof an I mixed them very well. But - you are right - the roof looks quite new. I tried to use mixed colors on the roof, but this was too jumbled up.

  
I would have gone for a darker colour of tiles for the flat outdoor areas, just so the building doesn’t blend in too much, but I have no idea of your tile supply :^o

These light yellow tile are only used for these photos. In the dispaly for our next event in Germany (1000steine-Land in Berlin) I’ll use light and dark gray tiles. The light yellow ones will only be used to highlighten some areas.

   The tram width looks just right, that new dark grey roof works.

The roof is old! dark gray.....


   You are lucky to have a hometown with such interesting buildings and the skill to replicate them in LEGO form. Great work !

Thanks once more.
