I noticed these yesterday but work got in the way . . .
I really like the colors used and the use of plates as well. The smoke effect
above the burned out window is really nice. I might give it a try on buildings
for my next layout. The Maersk blue color really stands out on the corner as
well.
I haven't seen these types of houses in real life, but are they typically just
an even, flush, row of houses? Are they ever set back (and forth) (in this case
1/2 or 1 full stud) from one another? Even if not prototypical, I think it
might look nice and add a little more to differentiate between each house on
your already fabulous block. Also, have you considered 2x2 tiles for the side
walks?
Excellent work!
Best,
Jonathan
