mirek the panels are fine,once the scene is complete and lit properly they will show up ok and from a distance you only really need an indication anyway because the brain takes over.

It's coming along very nicely, although I would check the amount of curve on the diagonal wall archways, as it looks like they should curve in even more viewing it from what you have posted.
Oh btw yes I have made this a few times because i made the tutorial.
