It does get expensive. What I do is focus on the facades & all *exposed*
areas of the buliding. For example: a city block is say 8 buildings long, • so
they are right next to each other, so those sides that are not exposed,
don't need windows & can be made out of the *non-building colors* (yellow,
blue etc.) which are more easily & less expensively obtained. I do this • for
the backs of the buildings as well, because in most cases there will be
another block back to back with the first one.

Except this doesnt work in the case of a large office block where all sides
are exposed.

Though in the case of mine, I do have the bottom half of one side built only
of bricks, not more expensive windows, as it does butt up against its
neighbour


I'd like to see pix of your block.

Probably at the week end when I have finished detailing and making
adjustments

lawrence
