An engine servicing facility for the JGL

I had talked before about the front wall of the office. I don't want it to be brick and I mentioned using the sidewalk material I had used on another bldg., to simulate a marble block front. I am attaching a pic of the paper wall for the front, with grid lines drawn on to show the size of the "granite" blocks. I had cut a few pcs of construction paper to the size of the windows and taped them in place to show how they will appear. The entrance doors in the middle will be recessed into the front. Despite not finding any photos of bldgs with this type block I am inclined to proceed with it. I will need suitable mouldings to enhance the appearance of the walls, can anyone tell me of a supplier of such items?

Gary, I'd suggest placing the "stone" blocks so that the bottom of the windows line-up with the mortar lines, if that's possible. If they won't do this for the entire facade, align the ones on the ground floor.
Here's a building with a similar (sorta) style of blocks - on this one, I believe that they're limestone, and they appear to be a bit larger, but the effect is the same.


For mouldings, Evergreen strips in various sizes can be useful as accent "dividers" between storeys, and they're also available in half-round and quarter-round shapes. I used mostly plain strips, some layered, to give Dunnville station some "relief" (the mortar lines, though, barely show) :


I really like the colouring you've attained on those concrete blocks, and I agree: the whole scene is really starting to come together.
