Well, a couple days away from the project as work interfered 2 days and an absolute terrible stomach virus wrecked me for a day and a half. But I was back at it again this morning to catch up where I left off.
I did some rather heavy handed drybrushing of an acrylic yellow as the buildin's base color and lighter drybrushing of some browns to dirty it up a bit.

I then decided an electric meter was in order. Used a snip of scrap styrene and a small piece of clear styrene from an old kit sprue. Then attached the conduit simulated with some wire.

Then I painted the trim grey and added the sign as well as the front door overhang made with nothing more than a piece of black construction paper.

Now I'll get back to it and start to think about roof construction, additional signage and weathering and send Fred to scope a suitable piece of real estate! Once Fred reports back, I'll be able to determine the foot print for the entire scene and get my dimensions for the fence.
