Here's a shot of all four sides glued together, sitting on the half-height wall between our family room and kitchen. The thing you have to watch with mirror buildings is that of course they reflect everything around them!
This photo shows the diagonal bracing on all four corners of the top.
The same thing was done on the bottom end:
I then set about one of my favorite aspects of making these city buildings: making a roof top piece. This is where you can pretty much let your imagination run wild, as any combination of machines, compressors, vents, pipes/conduits, towers, lights, and other structures can be cobbled together to make a convincing and interesting roof scene.
Here's what it looks like in place, but this was before I had completed all the details:
This photo shows the boo-boo on the mirror surface resulting from me being a little too enthusiastic with the pressure on the clamp when gluing on the corner struts. Maybe some day I will make a little platform dangling from the roof, with a couple of hardhats trying to install a replacement glass panel.
