Shops and office block...

I wanted to add 3 shops on the lower level with 2 offices above them.. the front will be recessed to allow parking in front of the shops. 

First up was the front of the building...

After marking out the doors and windows, I started cutting them out...

That done, I started glueing the sides to stabilise the building and to stop light from illuminating the room next door...

That done, I installed the floors and ceiling to also stop light from illuminating the lower/upper floors...

and then finished off with the roofs...

Time for some paint and with the first coating one can already see the pencil marks disappearing...

The final touch was some weathering .. but as usual, I went overboard. From experience I have learnt that it is easier to go overboard than to try to get it right the first time. The way I do it is to go overboard and then apply a light coating of the original paint which tones the weathering down...

Next, like all my recent builds, windows and doors...

Placed some cars in the parking area...
