Thank you guys, I had fun making them. Now I want to do near future as well as 40K versions ;)

Have wanted some of those balconies for some time, but I can't find them as a separate item on the Ironheart Artisans site. Did you buy them as part of a kit Dr Mathias?

I emailed Ironheart and asked if they could be bought separately. Apparently its something they've been planning to do, but they haven't done it. The person I was in communication with was very helpful, and they cut the balconies quick. $10 for four of them, which is pretty damn good IMO.

Not my pic, it's from the Hirst site:

I have to heartily agree.

On both points.

Thanks all, I'm very glad that this 'It's Alive!' thread happened :)

Some more pics I can post now that LPL round 9 is over:







A few mashrabiya screens from Ironheart Artisans. I feel like these are a really nice addition to the buildings, although I'm not crazy about the trapdoors for roof access :)
