That fire escape looks fantastic! It looks like a lot of work though.

Thanks, mate.  The fire escape took me about a day to make (if you count all the hours spent cutting, sanding, glueing, etc).

WIP update. Painting has begun! After applying a black undercoat, I painted the brickwork with burnt umber and red mixed, with a second redder coat and finished today by adding a black wash to the external bricks. On the wood floor, I gave it a coat of burnt umber and when dried I gave it a black wash. The fire escape has been given a coat of black gloss.

The next step is to paint both the bottom and the top tiles with cement grey before painting the cornerstones and borders.

Looks great so far - that building is big! It looks like you are having some nice weather to boot.

WIP update. I have painted the tops and the bottoms of the building front with a concrete grey. Then using a light brown I dry brushed all the brickwork (inside and out) to pick out the brick details.

My next step is to paint the cornerstones and borders a mid grey.

While the paint is drying with one model, I've started something new.

I was looking over some cells from the X-Men Animated cartoon of the 90s and came across one of an alleyway back entrance to a building and thought this would be a great little piece to build.

This piece will be a 2 piece display, made up of a back wall and floor. The back wall will be a brick wall with a static closed door in the middle.

I cut out the back wall from a piece of 10 mm foam board and before I stuck it onto a piece of 6 mm board, I cut out the door frame. I marked out the brickwork and then added extra pieces of 10 mm onto the front, I also cut a couple of steps for the door out of 6 mm foam. I then cut out a strip of 30 mm foam board of 1? thickness to go across the top. My next step is to score brickwork into it.

This second one looks like it will be a fun piece - love that your reference is from the 90s cartoon! Your three story building looks...well...real. I'm really blown away by how excellent it looks. You're a Master.

What started off as just being a two-piece diorama has now turned into a three-piece. After putting the floor together and scoring paving stones onto it. I added a light above the door, which will be properly attached once it's been painted. I decided that this piece needed a second smaller wall, again like the first it is held together with magnetic tape. When the glue has dried I will score in the brickwork.

Two great projects coming together nicely.

I really like your wall with the light, looks perfect for those night urban area effects.

Still liking that fire escape too. Your building is definitely painting up nice.

I like the addition of the "pony wall." I think somehow it adds dimension to the space. That was a really good call. Looks great so far.

WIP update.  I finished adding the brickwork to the sidewall, adding bullet damage to the wall. To finish work on the wall, I added a final layer of foam brick to the wall. All that is left is to sand the edges and I can start painting this piece.

WIP update. Mixing up a light grey, I applied the first coat to all the unpainted stonework. Once it's dry I'll add the second coat followed by a black wash.
