This was lit with bulbs so should be an interesting lighting challenge. I also want to put the spot lights up on the top of the structure. Perhaps this weekend I can get it in situ on the layout and get the parking lot in order as well as some of the plant life out front.Did anyone else that contributed to this thread so long ago actually complete their models?

Looking good Simon. And good work to all the others.
I've been thinking of dabbling in scratch building. Starting with a simple structure, like a small office or storage shed, out of Evergreen styrene. I'm nowhere's near starting on it. Don't have the $$$ to buy the material. Hopefully later this year I will.
