Not tired of any of it, keep up the great work.

Very nice. The gray and blue go very well together. I've got a few new
buildings of similar style to get pics up of.

Nice to see the market growing. :-)

Nice touch! I couldn't make it out from the photos but if I understand
correctly the door is offset half a stud? I've borrowed a similar technic from
other members of PNLTC for the look of passenger train car doors when lacking
regular train doors, using the 1x2 tiles w/ center stud, if you'd like a pic
I'll have to see if I can find one. I decided to use this for the walls of
some of my buildings, giving them a nice "timbered" look.

I've been battling a similar problem with a roof of a interior building in my
castle. Using steep slopes made it entirely too tall but a combination of low
and steep sure helps a lot.
I love your modular wall design, I will definitely have to borrow some of your
ideas when I get to building mine.

Looking great! (once I broke the code :-)
Check the thumbnails, at first I got "file not found". I looked at the date at
the end of the url and you have 30 instead of 00. :-)
