Thanks Tom!  More photos tonight.

Here are a few more progress pictures of the clapboard walls.  The windows have been glazed and put in.  Since I wasn't going to have any details inside of the building, I put in two vertical pieces of strip wood between the sidewalls, then glued cardstock to it just behind the windows on the front wall.

Ok, time for a few more progress photos.  I'm sticking with the clapboard walls one more time.  In the previous pic I had dry-fitted the cardstock roof within the 3 clap walls.  I had to do a little tweak to make it fit right.  I tried squaring up the walls best I could, but they did move a bit on me.  Jimmy includes some sandpaper that will sit on top of the cardstock to act as the roofing material.  I dry fit that as well, then used the 3M tape here to stick the two together.  After that I did a quick dry brushing.

Ok, time for an update.  I'll switch back over to the Hydrocal front wall.  These photos show the windows in place and the front wall attached to the cardstock flooring.  I used my angle blocks to square up the wall to the floor.

Here are a few more photos.  These are of the outer stairwell to the 2nd floor.  Actually, the first picture is of my clamps, with the outer wall being used to hold them for the photo.   Next one is of the corner trim glued onto the wall, then trimmed at the angle of the wall.  The last one is of the 3 walls glued together.

Happy Black Friday!  Time for an update on the build.  These photos are of the billboard that comes with the kit.  The first pic is of the separate components of the unit, sans the Fulsome sign.  Next is a series of being-built pics.  I used 3M tape on the back of the sign to adhere it to the billboard (I love that stuff).  The last one is the "fancy" trim board that goes around the sign.  That's it for now.

Mark,

What a terrific job on the peeling paint effect on the outer stairwell.  It looks super.     The billboard looks great too.

Thanks guys!  This is a neat building.  I like the mixed media walls.  Ok, a few more pics.  The roof material for the outer stairwell was corrugated metal, so I gave it a spray with some primer after I pre-cut the pieces to the size I wanted.  I used 3M tape to hold the pieces down, but added a little bit of gel CA where they overlapped as a belt & suspenders tactic.  I did the roof after gluing the stairwell to the side wall so that I could butt the roofing right up against the wall.

Here are a few more pics of the build.  This is of the small shed on top of the roof that I'm assuming is the roof entrance for stairs that would be inside the building.  Here we have the bracing, A&I wash, sponge method to apply multiple layers of paint, etc.
