This is a case whereby I figure that I should stop and just finish the two windows on the side facade with the ship and the nosy neighbor.Any finishing of the main facade would only detract from the storyline in my opinion.Curtains,blinds,stained glass will be enough here as I don't want to distract the views eye from the main storyline which is what is going on in the backyard.

Well I changed my mind again ! I will now leave two of the upstairs windows open for viewing.I kind of like the 3D quality it gives to the scene.Under normal conditions with no lighting or the lighting on low power it shouldn't distract attention away from the main storyline,especially when that basic story is told from the perspective of the right hand front side with the arrival of the main character.
The scene through the window is actually a hallway,that is why the painting seems so close to the window.

I found these over on Vectorcut
""Window Cats." Set of 7 black cat silhouettes for eye catching night detail in structure model windows. Each cat is laser cut in fine detail and has a tab under its feet to glue behind a window. In normal room lighting conditions, it will be invisible. In the dark with interior lighting, your cat will appear framed in the window and give the impression of life inside the building. A fun, inexpensive and easy to use detail.
(Note, first demo photo shows HO scale version, this item is properly sized for O)".

John, where the compression springs come together should there not be a bolt head and washer on each side for a total of 4?

I am getting close to the end now as this is the first pic that I can say that there will be no more changes made,period.
I don't want there to be any other distractions in the pic as the viewer has enough to figure out what the yellow thing
is.

This is the view through the second garage window.Here there will still be a few changes like putting stuff on the window sills.

Fantastic work. What was the technique for making all the signs? Thye look wonderful. Also, the New York Times nwspaper. That is beautiful. How was it done?
