After checking all the corners, I went back to review the wall locations in how they are glued together.

I discovered the second issue with what I did wrong.

The diagram in the next photo shows the other self inflected wound.



Clearly it shows Wall T to be glued to the inside of Wall S. The darker lines are the bracing.

I glued Wall T to the outside of Wall S. This was why the showroom didn't sit correctly. A minor mistake that was magnified down the road.

Ungluing or cutting the walls apart clearly wasn't possible. Even though, I've been successful in doing this on other models. With this kit, the two showroom walls are to fragile for me to even attempt doing that.

My solution, fix #2, was to create a small alley between the middle building and the showroom.



By doing this, I was able to square up the front with the sidewalks.



Done for today and probably the next few days as well!   ;D

Tom very well done.  And a great idea with the alleyway.
