other than a little vegetation, interior lighting and window shades, the only thing I did was paint and weathering.

This is a real nice structure kit.

MTH has produced Yard Towers for a few different eras.

Do you need an early 20th Century Tower or a Late 20th Century Tower?

What is the time period you prefer?

MTH had some kind of tower, done in a mustard colored plastic that looked like corrugated siding.. Whether that's realistic or not depends on the viewer. I thought the corrugations were too big.
