Thanks 88. Well, I went downstairs this morning and trimmed back that sill, and put the windows in that wall while I was at it. I also built a platform. A little tweaking is still needed to get the tops of the walls to match in height, but that is no problem. Things are looking a lot better already!
In case anyone may be interested, here is how I am attaching the walls together, behind the scenes. Once I am satisfied with all the walls, I will cement them in place, using clips like the one in the photo to hold them together. I'm thinking of using epoxy, which as Doc Wayne pointed out earlier in this thread, doesn't stick to styrene real well. In this case, that will be good. It gives me adaquate set up time to get things alined and will allow me to break it apart if needed. BTW, this is the side facing where I have to work from, to see the outside of the walls as in the photos, I have to walk around to the aisle on the other side of the peninsula, and view from several feet away.
This view just shows one angle of how the scene is shaping up
