(...) Even more good work from you Jonathan. I really love where this city project is going. Grit and grime is an important part of real cities and definitely adds to model city projects IMO. Tim PS.

(...) Thanks, Kevin. Yes, the two brown buildings use both new and old brown together. I think it add a little something to the buildings. I also use old gray and bley together quite often for buildings, sidewalks and retaining walls. I think they (...) (19 years ago, 22-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)
