Neoclassical Museum WIP - east wing's portico and balcony

Now that I know the overall size of this thing I started on rebuilding the wings. Previously all three levels were identical which I really didn't like but I kept them as a placeholders. To break up the monotony I added portics on the ground floor and with a balcony above it. As always I had a blast building this small roofs with the light bluish grey cornice around the front. West wing is rebuild in the same manner.

 

The next part I really wanted to change was the area located under each window on the first and second floor. I switch the previously used light bluish grey slopes to a small windowsill's in tan.

 

I also started adding more and more details, this time:

a) convex bars are added to all windows on the ground floor - based on driod's arms and crowbars

b) external lamps are attached to the pilasters - I have run of out black sausage pieces :(

c) hanging flower pots - I have spent a ridiculous amount of time building them, not because they were hard but because it was so enjoyable to use bizarre colors like green or red for a change :)

d) gutters are changed a little bit to add a small inspection ports

 

As a result of adding the porticos now I need to rebuild the base because the wings are simply too big... oh well, 6th time is a charm they say :)

 

Next I'm going to rebuild the circular front but for that I need my bricks and pieces package for which I'm waiting like forever :)
