American buildings on Japanese layouts

What do you think of the photos below, do you think the Blue and Brown DPM buildings would fit in a Japanese themed layout. Keep in mind that the buildings have no details added & would look a 1000% better if they were detailed. Ive switched the buildings up a little to give the viewer a different view of the building arrangement.

Waiting to be delivered

This week I went a little crazy and ordered 5 buildings. I ordered a new 6 floor building in a different style than the other building I have. I ordered two residential buildings to break up the monotony and finally I ordered two of the 23-431 Built-Up 4 Floor Office Building. I got two of the 4 floor buildings because I want to make the current one I have taller.

Some new goodies for the layout

Today I decided to visit my LHS lol and pick up a couple of things. The first thing on my list was a MRC280 Dual Powerpack and a Kato 23-458 Local Bank. Im really starting to like these Dio-Town structures from Kato, I think I may pick up one of each of them.

Holy Puzzle Pieces Batman!!

I got my 3rd Kato building in a lifetime and it was the 23-431 Built-Up 4 Floor Office Building, Green. I thought to myself thats a cool little building to have on my layout so I bought it. I was playing around with it and noticed that the floors separated, chi-ching I can add more floor and make it a high rise or a low rise anyways I thought it was pretty cool and had to share.

Ladies & Gentlemen weve got platforms!!!

After all my bellyaching about platforms I finally ordered some from MB Klein aka www.modeltrainstuff.com and they came through in record time with my order. I purchased 2 20-806 platform kits, 1-Gradual Incline set and 1- Pier set & a Kato built up building. This will not be my last order from them.
