I was able to finish getting the rest of the brick paper glued on and the windows and doors cut out. This was on the creek wall and the street wall. I'm not happy with the creek wall right now. Somewhere an error crept into the measurements and the buttresses are not centered correctly, that is going to bother me a lot. Hopefully I can disguise it a bit with some exterior details and weathering. On top of that it looks like the buttresses are not straight up and down. I have checked it with my square and measured the gap between them (9' in HO scale) and that measurement is the same all the way up and down. Right now I'm chalking that up to a perspective issue. On a positive note the creek wall cannot be viewed straight on, it will be angled away from the viewer so whatever mistake has crept in shouldn't not be noticeable to the casual viewer.

Can you offset the window trim a little to make the misalignment of the buttresses less noticeable?
