Lots and lots of texture you've built up! I give you my pros and cons report:
Things that work great:
Nice ground floor development throughout the avenue
Multi-slope awnings
Siamese (fire hose)
Extreme slope base works, good proportion, when your windows are 9 high!
Half-stud cantilevering for the cornices
Corner stones go all the way up
Brown half-arches over windows; the horizontal stripes makes this work (also
my favorite colors)
Decent variety between floors (just like the real thing)
Green mostly-windows retail site!
Huh?
tan post in nyctwo.jpg? Is that a steam pipe or an advertisement? Maybe an
obelisk would look more signy.
Would like to see:
A little junk on the walls: Air conditioners, fire escapes... (ok it's 5th ave)
A street level flag or two
Some greebles for the cornice of black 1x2x3 inverse extreme slopes; maybe a
modified 1x1 plate
More awnings (how about a round-top one)
More window sills
Close enough:
I'd say "there are no droids on 5th avenue!" but, we did encounter one on
Broadway.
Future suggestions for New Yorkiness:
Embassy and consulate buildings (with flags)
Mansion with one turret
Odd Tudor style
2nd story business and occasional street level entrances
Penthouse and trees
Local Color Ideas:
Street vendor cart (now there's an untapped vehicle)
Whereza pigeons?
A pack of police cruisers (4) or tow trucks (3-4)
Fantastic street going there Jonathan!
