Wonderful camera angle on the first shot.
The details are coming together and once you get them all in it will really mesh everything as one whole corner.

This is nice work here.

All the buildings are well done with some little things really bringing them to life, i.e. the differing flow of the drapes in the last pic--(a very very nice touch, very authentic), the etched/painted glass in the second pic, as Scott noted - the composition of the first pic, the awnings and furniture--all very well done.

Congrats here on some beautiful structure work. Please keep us posted as you move through this scene.

Very nice setting. I think the (light colored) buildings need a bit of extra weathering though. They look a bit too clean to really fit into the street scene.

I agree with Scott that the first picture is made with an excellent camera angle !

Good Stuff !!

Good progress Jay, The tables and chairs look indeed much better white. The figure with his legs crossed, is it scratchbuild? It's got a perfect pose for a civy sitting on a terrace,enjoying a drink, watching the world go by!
What are you planning with it? A peacefull scene or the onslaught of battle? I think this would be a perfect dio for something quiet, like soldiers at rest or maybe even a liberation scene in one of the villages that was spared the destruction of battle.
Hope the door in picture 3 gets a balcony .
Good work, keep posting the pic's

Cheers
Henk

BRAVO.... as someone who enjoys the aspects of the architectural build as much as the figures and armor, I LOVe the way you have done your windows and the overall design concepts. Quite well done!
