Your treatment of the Unitrak is beyond admirable.  Very nicely done.

Yep. Under a layer of paint, grout and grass.

Curbs added to sidewalks and everything has been painted. Gotta plant them so they don't look like they're hovering, but I'm pretty happy.

The backscene needs to move vertically upwards. The sidewalk is almost at the second story! Its quite distracting. Otherwise, excellent scene!

Agreed.  You could also consider forcing the perspective by tapering the road and sidewalks just ever so to help the transition to the photo be less jarring.

It's always tricky to get that just right because your viewing angle will always be off a little.  But you can make it work better with a few tweeks.

coming together very nicely, Ed
those sidewalk add some much realism
the neighborhood really has that Philly NE feel
and, yes, you do such excellent work with the unitrack
the ballast, the vegetation, the detail
all so finely done


sincerely

Ok. Photo interior done.

And yes, that's a whole row of Tastykakes.

Hmmm! Tastykakes butterscotch krimpets and peanut butter kandy kakes 

How about some 7-11 beef & bean burritos and big gulps?

Absolutely not. I work with far too many great folks from India to include that problematic stereotype.
