What size are your windows and doors, and what spacing did you use. It look's just perfect to me for an industrial warehouse/
mfg type building. I too don't have a lot of space (2' deep) around the walls, and am always looking for unique ideas.
mind? heck no
That is what the Gauge is all about. I am using a lot of techniques in my buildings that I have picked up from other Gaugers here in the various forums. Copy away.
I built the small windows on this structure 1/4" wide by 7/16" tall space 1/4" apart for the most part.
The middle sized windows are 13/16" x 11/16" again spaced 1/4".
The large windows are 13/16" x 1 1/16".
The small doors are 1/4" x 7/16" The freight doors are 9/16' x 11/16".
Remember I am modeling N-scale here. Your results may vary, etc. etc.
My small windows in this structure are actually about 1/8" to large. They are supposed to represent an opening of about 3'x6'.
I measured one set then traced the other and made the second set too wide. But the effect is okay. There are supposed to be 8 window panes instead of 10 but if you didn't know better you probably wouldn't notice it.
Watch out for the scratch-building bug
It is known to bite hard
