Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations!  I think ALan covered it. ;-)
The dark red building really stands out now.  I like all the use of simple
elements that add lots of detail.  As ALLan said, "Your use of color is
excellent, matched only by your use of ornamentation to give the buildings
such a wonderful sense of realism."  I totally agree.
Now for some questions...Are you able to reveal how you came about with
those sand green and dark red bricks??  And can you tell us about the Maersk
blue transaction??

Thanks, Andrew!

As for the dark red-- Bricklink (took a while, and it wasn't cheap either!)

All of the sand green from both buildings was taken from 1 statue of liberty
set.

Suffice it to say regarding the Maersk blue that I was in the right place at
the right time to get it-- it was totally by chance and a one time deal.  I
have heard that the color is barred from sale by TLC because of contractual
agreements with Maersk, but I don't know that for sure, and for that reason
I'll decline to elaborate.  I did get it legally though:-)
