2013 saw the long awaited return of Arrested Development. For my own brand of celebration, I decided to create a miniature 'Sudden Valley'. SPOILER ALERT: too late, you've already seen this. ;) (but the new additions to the neighborhood happen right in the first episode, so I don't feel I'm spoiling much.)
The original Model Home is not part of this section of the neighborhood, but who cares.
This scene replaces my original Arrested Development scene, and is designed to fit within the modular street/town design I started with Futurama.

The orange house was featured most in the show, so I spent a little more time on this then the other one (a few hours more). Unfortunately I couldn't do this in the colors I wanted (medium nougat with a sand-red roof) so I settled on dark orange and grey instead.
I put trees in the front just to help decorate.

After looking at all the other houses on the block, I opted to do the grey house because that's what I had enough pieces for. ;)

Last minute addition to complete the scene. Every neighborhood needs a pool, right?

Here's the references I used for the houses. For the grey house, this was just about the only shot I had to reference. Fortunately the white house in back is the same make and that had a few angles in other scenes.
I had considered doing the tan house in the middle as that seemed easier, but I eventually decided I wanted more variation in the house colors in the neighborhood.

It'd be nice to know where this was actually filmed, so I can look it up on Google Earth/Maps and see how well I got the house shapes right. (I'm 99% sure that these are real houses and not fully fabricated shells made just for the show).
