Ken, I share your feelings about graffiti! I despise it in real life and dislike using it on models, but sometimes it's necessary to accurately portray the scene. I think you've put in just enough to do the job, and the whole scene is stunning.

This weekend I tightened up the roof a little.  The stairway enclosure looked more
like a shed and the clothesline was too plain.

Before:


After:


I think the cut-away section sloping down to the roof makes the unit look more like
a stairway and the clothesline looks more personable.  I did have to change the one
wire "clothesline" to reflect the weight of the rug.

The rest of the laundry, which dried faster than the rug, waits patiently in the cart
(...made from Wildhare Models shopping cart parts..)

And the bottom of the door scrapes the asphalt roof. Satisfactory -- Russ

Camera Play-Time.....

Even in a lighted room the alley was pretty dark with the two buildings in place
so I added a mini-LED in a small hood.  It illuminates the alley a little in daylight,
but playing with the camera with the lights off is just too much fun..........

Very nice Ken. The camera play looks great. It makes all of your hard work well worth it to get such great shots. Great composition of the stuff in the alley. It's very realistic looking.
