I like the Belvedere Kit because you could stack as many storeys together as you want. I built the 3 level when i was younger and later made a 6 level mini-tower. Have to find that photo...
So no buildings posted for a while... Here are some of mine:
Faller "mushroom stand"- it's part of a European carnival group of small buildings
I think an AHM rooming house
Standard Electric turned into a sign shop
And another Faller- their modern hotel. I bought two of these because I love the display windows at the bottom of the building.
Here's a city in a cupboard, patiently waiting for the layout to be at a point to build a neighborhood. And there's the 6 story Belvedere
And if you take combine 2 Life-Like elevated passenger platforms and some Atlas bridges you get a really interesting piece

I agree Buss. Now I just need to get working on a better layout and save some space for a very weird looking main street.
Here are a few more in the old collection
I think this is a Tyco tipple. I have 3 (!) mines I can use it with...
WKS sent these two kits to me. I think he's trying to kill me with salt, MSG and triglycerides!
 
A Plasticville chapel
If you're patient with a brush you can really make these cheap buildings shine with detail!
Here's an even smaller chapel- possibly a Pola that I have since... a long time ago!
Here's finished view of a second hand resin kit from a flea market
The original build included heavy and thick oil paint and gobs of glue. Some Super Clean, alcohol and tooth brushing brought it around for a rebuild
And I'll stop for now with the Walther's modern engine shop
Wait- two more shots of building junk got at a flea market last fall About an hour away there is a flea market with outside open air pavilions. SO they were permitted to have train shows while the rest of the world languished away. Some great deals all around including a big box of miscellaneous building and pieces waiting for their day of rebirth!

The El is a remarkable visual impact. I've not seen that
done before. PC Engine Shops- that's a good one.
