Greg,
This is fantastic! Not only do you have some beautiful architectural details,
but you also have a very nice layout that is quite realistic. Some might say
"prototypical" of a city block. Nice windows, gardens, balconies, and overall a
top-notch set of creations. (When can I move in?)
Best of luck with your upcoming show!
- Chris.
