Starting on a small enclave of buildings for the British occupiers. These are high end, with quarried stone and tile roofs. Huts for the peasants are made from mud bricks, which turn a pale yellow green after a few days and look like vomit. What do you think of the color scheme?

Looks good! Dropping it on some landscape might give more context. Do you have a mat yet? |

Are the roof tiles not made of the same mud as the peasants' huts? |

Here's kind of my thinking. In the first place, I doubt it rains enough on Mars to need tiles, or even a peaked roof. But I'm just tired of all the white washed north African buildings. So I want something different. Now I'm thinking I'll swap: make the walls colorful and the tiles red. Now thinking this is the East India Trading Company's Martian "compound" where it's executives live. |

Wow. Is that front door opening just 6mm tall? I'm impressed. That is so much detail for something that little. Dan |

The grids you see are 1" Yeah, the door is just 4mm tall. The windows are 5mm… |
