Thanks very much!
Waht isn't really evident in the pic's is that the brown band you mention is
comprised of log bricks with the 1x side facing out, so in the actual model
it isn't that overbearing. (IMO).
Now that you mention it, I don't know what I was thinking with the red door.
It doesn't look good at all. I do try to separate the ground floors of my
buildings to give the appearance of shops in the ground floors that have
nothing to do with the offices above, but in this case, I definitely failed.
Black it will be.
Thanks for looking and all your comments.
