The dark red one was built a few years ago in red, and I recently re-did it in
dark red.  It is inspired by a building called The Piano Factory on Bruckner
Blvd in the Bronx.  I believe the real building is now home to loft style living
spaces.  It is located on the Antique Row section of the Bruckner near the
Willis Ave bridge.  It is a cool little neighborhood, but way to much truck
traffic and a huge recycling facility in the area.

The dark orange building was being built about the time ++Lar was in town last
February.  It was inspired by a building in Jason Spears' Kalamazoo, Michigan
gallery on maj.com, back when a few of us discussed a town building reference
earlier in the year.

Here is a link to the image in Jasons folder:

Though the buildings are more of the same from me, thoughts and comments are
always appreciated.

Big thanks to Jason for bringing Kalamazoo to us! OnDrew as well, for starting
that topic! And, actually Tim gave some ideas for the dark orange building too.

Thanks Everyone!


Best,
Jonathan

Jonathan,

Again, an excellent collection of buildings! Your town layout is the epitome of
everything that I evenetually want my home layout to be. (earth toned realism)

I really like the use of the brown hinge top on the edges of your dark-orange
building. (I have a ton of them from those Maersk ships) I also like how you
seem to be moving toward a studless look, with everything tiled in the right
places.

Keep up the good work.
