Farmers Bank

My wife has been after me to build up the town a bit.   I used acrylic as the main form, added some columns and Precision Products Brick.

 

The windows are made from brass and then painted.   Door is styrene.

Hi The Joat

A fine reliable institution judging by the car parked out the front

I cannot help feeling something is missing from the building to just finish it off, what I don't quite know what because well its missing.

John, the interest payments on your mortgage, and the leasing of my rolling stock from the bank bought that fine new automobile for the Bank President!

What's missing??? Jesse James??? Drive up window? Some lights on the front so anybody could see nighttime intruders trying to make illicit withdrawal? Ah, Night depository door!

I do not think anything is missing, just too much white.

 Window casings used to be wood colored on many buildings and this would offset the white color.

Maybe some curtains, lettering on the windows and or doors, some "wear" on the path to and from the doors. How about street lights or building lights? I would think that a lot depends on the period of the buildings and the town. If it is the 30's or 40's, then maybe a flag or two, a poster pushing war bonds, recruitment, propaganda, etc. Maybe a period cop on the beat.
There is a lot of white, but banks and S&L's tended to go for the clean, solid look, especially after the stockmarket crash.
