No problem. Well I hope you dont mind i've taken the liberty of painting over your last image to help you understand what I mean. These are some of the major other things that I think you should think about.

1) Nobody building fences is that sloppy. Even a mildy retarded school drop out, recently hit by a bus, having a bad day kinda guy can just about nail together a fence. The rivets are too big, too clumsy, and the thing they're nailed into - i cant work out whether its wood or metal, or neither. All i can work out, is that its wobbly. I think you've fixed the fence posts mostly, but i can still see the odd 'perfect' fence post which is shorter than damaged ones.

2) A small thing maybe, but something OCD sufferers will find particularly frustrating. Line the numbers up for a start with the door. Aside from that according to the scale in your scene, each number is about the size of a head. (And thats big). You dont necessarily need the viewer to read the actual number, you just want them to see you've taken the trouble to add such details.

3) This for me destroys your building as it is, but it's easily fixed. Think about this. Look at the height of your door. You could fit an entire door under the window. Think about the way a room or a house is put together. We cant put windows between floors. You might find once you've corrected it, that your building looks a bit tall for a 2 storey building, but too short for a 3 storey. I'm going to advise adding the extra floor if that situation arises as the building to me looks like it should have more floors. Like a small block of retirement flats or something (in tha ghetto y'all).

4) Strikingly obvious to anyone thats really paying attention, I shouldnt need to say more than the lines say already. Buildings generally just arent put together this way.

5) A suggestion really - to turn your 3 flat looking steps into 2 decent looking steps. It may not sound like a big deal but I reckon it's worth just seeing if it looks better to scale.

I'll check for your progress later. Good luck with it tonight user added image
