I like the wall that the ladder is on without any windows and the ladder with the protector around it. But yes to everything else.

Not really.
Yea, slapping windows on everything is nothing short of a lack of imagination. There are plenty of other ways to detail a wall, not that there's even anything wrong with a blank wall. Maps need blank walls to influence a players attention; towards signs, doors and objectives.

I don't think I need any, and if I do I'll try to do them myself! But thanks for the offer, if I'm really desperate I'll talk to you.

More progress from tony the pony. I turned on mat_spectacular for you guys!
B is still being worked on, just a very WIP shot to make you guys (un)happy (and quit the artpass contest ofcourse).

More progress - comparissons this time! Point B is done, but I'm not really happy with the control point building itself (see the 2nd picture). Any tips, idea's, or thoughts? I'd like to hear them.
oh and I'm going to change those blue windows to black, because that just doesn't look right, as nine just pointed out.
EDIT: and another shot from inside B-Building.

Without knowing why you're unhappy with the control point building itself I'm gonna take a stab at it and guess it's because it doesn't quite match the architectural style of the buildings surrounding it.
Basically you've got these large, very blocky, very clean high-tech industrial type buildings surrounding point B (which in itself is a little odd considering that's more of a Blu architectural trait than a Red one), and the point B building is brick instead of concrete and has slanted roofs. To make it all work together you'll likely either have to make the cap point building look like the rest of the complex (more high-tech concrete) or you have to make the rest of the complex look more like the cap building. That'd be my suggestion.

Thanks guys, I'll see what I can do about those things. I'm gonna move on to C now first, so I get everything done in time.

Finished up that detail room behind B you can see through these windows:
I'm not 100% happy about the lighting yet, but it's definately progress I guess.

The ramp looks a bit funky, the door overlay is a bit bright and the big lights are a bit too low but in concept it looks pretty awesome. I really like the architecture of the roof (cause I'm terrible at it).
You might want to consider making the tunnel wide enough for two trucks and adding some tire tracks but that's optional. I think it looks good enough for a detail only-area, don't worry about it if you have other things to do.
I'm also not sure about the walls for the B capture point house. They are just so thin they look flimsy compared to the much more solid and heavy structure it's connected to.
