That is coming together so nice, and you're making everything. That makes it even better.
Almost makes me want to do one, but I'm afraid mine will be lame. I do have experience helping my wife with her doll houses though. Hey maybe you could check out doll house crap for ideas. They have lighting, and you could get some office furniture to make a little office.
EDIT: I just noticed I said the exact same thing as DT, so lets change that to, "That's coming together great!"

Thanks guys!
It is working out better then I thought it would for me. I had a few problems and as usual if you use an Exacto knife to much you wind up cutting something other then plastic (I have a ton of scar's on my hands)!
I looked at Doll House stuff but way to big for 1/64 scale thats the strange thing nothing is 1/64 scale it seems except cars, and a few misc. things?? Even military is 1/35 and I could have used some of the stuff!
I got the Garage doors on and built a track for them they slide up the track to open and are jonted so they will curve up the track. all the windows are done. I got the fence posts up on the main board and should have some fencing up today. I will post more pics this evenining!

Best way to describe the fence is to show it. I used materil from a plant package (webbed material) to make the fence. the post are wood dowls cut and the gates are made from plastic tube heated over a candle and bent into a square and the end glued togther.
I then painted all the fence in silver then used Ink washes from Reaper Miniatures and made the fence look rusted. I sanded the gate chain (made from necklace chain) then also rusted that up.



This is the material I made the fence out of.

Here are the overhead doors on the garage and the gas pump island and I also got the Toilets installed!


the office with counter, wallpaper and wanscot.



The gray outside walls are just primer they will be white and the trim needs another coat and the doors need to be finished painting and track finished. gas pumps will be next
