For awnings, I've also used styrene, painting it one color, then masking for the stripes and painting the 2nd color. Removing the masking, leaves a two color awning... similar to those shown.

I used a small piece of styrene for strength, and glued on a printed awning from the computer:
The window shades are tissue paper, glued inside the clear plastic glazing. I printed decals for the signs in the top-story windows. The Toro and Tru-temper signs were printed and glued to the insides of the big windows downstairs.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Do you mean like this?
I designed it with a drawing program. (Inkscape) Printed it out on copy paper. Sealed it with some clear coat and glued it to a piece of styrene. You can add store names and graphics too. Used a guitar string for supports on this one. You can get fancy and rap it around the sides too.
Are you talking about window shades on windows in building.
You can simulate the old style shades that pulled down from a roll at the top of the window (then spun back up via spring tension taking Tom with cat with it as Jerry Mouse laughed) use MASKING tape.
just cut a piece and affix it to the inside of the windows at varrying heights
Any suggestions for making window awnings and window treatments on n scale models in the 50's & 60"s?
