Can't remember the issue I asked about, huh?
to the forum. Is this really your first post in 8 years? Well you are in moderation buddy. You might have a Borat's daughter to sell us. Assuming you don't moderation goes away. At one post every 8 years, it may take a while.
The more you put into the forum, the more you get out of it.
One of the builders of Severna Park Model Railroad constructs his buildings that way. He lays out the plan for the wall and then cuts the horizontals and the verticals.
It seems like a lot of work to me. There is a tool called the nibbler, you can turn a small drill hole into a rectangular hole.
Dr Wayne is the master of large buildings around here, his comments are always worth reading.

You could also use a smoky coloured plastic for the box... save having to detail it internally. One of my earlier hints and tips was sighting a box that was "coated" with small deep blue ceramic tiles that made it look like a large glass edifice. Looking at it at an exhibition, it showed a number of bodies on each floor level at each window all apparently staring out the windows instead of working!
You could get such tiles as remnants but it helps the uniformity of the levels.

I can't help with a particular article, but I recall seeing skyscrapers built first of a core building of clear styrene and then finished with strip styrene on the outside.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
I read an article recently which included a "how I did it" section on cutting strips of styrene and gluing them together to leave openings for windows and doors. I hope you can tell me which issue its in (I have all issues since 1979 so I should be able to put my hands on it!)
