Are those the DPM kits? They look great...I know how tough it is to paint those Nscale buildings - steady hand/tiny brush. Where did you find a fire escape? It looks like a perfect fit.

Looks good, n00b. When you going to finally make the switch to Normal scale?

Let me tell you how good you painting skils are: in that first pic, I actualy thought that you'd taken a pic of a real building (I only saw the top half). You are a MASTER painter. I can hardly paint the indivual bricks in HO scale, so I can probably relate to how painstaking it is for N scale...

Very nice! I really like the cafe sign and the other advertisements painted onthe walls. Great looking details like the fire escape drive my less-than-nimble fingers crazy! Well done!

Excellent work MilesWestern. First class superdetailing on that Winfield ( best known as Roadkill ) cafe. You are a perfectionist ( It helps when you want to make a living building scale structures )
DPM makes very nice structures.The only complaint I have is that they should make the doors and windows separate items.

Here is my humble "amateur version" of it.
