Thanks guys, the photos and information are awesome!
Well I suppose I should have posed these questions a bit sooner, as the only quality photos I have were taken as the building sits today. I see a few things I would have done differently, such as the doors, awnings and roof color. I may go back and do some modifying.
Also, the sign pics y'all have posted are great, and they will be added soon!
The model is 95% laser cut acrylic made from my own drawings. The fire proof doors and smokestack are fabed from brass sheet, and the roof is 220 grit sandpaper painted green. The bricks are painted with latex paint, and weathered with Bragdon's Powders. Grout is Liquitex Ceramic Stucco that I thinned out and brushed into the cracks.
