You are on fire ya know?

They all add up to some awesome scenery.

What we need is a proper ground for it to stand on, some mini's in the frame and see how it comes alive.

If I may suggest: Try adding textured paint to the flat white bits on the buildings and then throw a brown wash, watered down, on it for a nice effect.
