Outstanding, Tim, your ideas get bigger and better every year, and the incorporation of the parts from the airport control tower is a stroke of genius.

Thanks everyone. The control tower idea was in the works for a while, it took some time before I could acquire one at a cheap price. I tried a bunch of different part combos there until I found the combo that looked best to me. The red roof likes to slide off at every little bump so I had to stick it in place.
I noticed the square tower with the square roof and crenelations on this video http://youtu.be/YaPNRIRCDMs and thought it was perfect for use with the greenhouse section. I tried different heights and ended up with what you see. Next up will be the bakery and post office interiors.

It looks gorgeous! Can't wait to see more.

Love that little round thingie.. :love:

Did you cut the floor connectors? Or they come in "single" size? I can't remember that..

To connect two single width floors I use two of the half width connector (the ones you use with the narrow wall top floor sections)

That diorama and construction are absolute amazing Tim. Very ingenious use of parts and even placement of certain details.

Very nice to look at, thanks for sharing.

DUH.  :doh:

Looks great - I didn't notice the "seam", looked to be a single part. Will have to notice that when I gawk at the pics again!  ;D

The side building with the post office, bakery upstairs, and the control tower.
