Beautiful work Richi, those windows look brilliant-guess all you can do is try and see which work the best. Well done mate, this is a cracker of a build.

Si

 

[monica]

stunning work Richi,looks terrific,

do lov the windows, i think as long as not over used will look great,

some very nice ones in there as well like the gray with the rose,

wish i was not a goof with the pc to be able to do things like that top job very well done

 

[Richi72]

Hi all,

thanks for the nice compliments.

so here is a little preview of the windows and wallpaper, just a little rest will follow.

the windows and doors aren't glued in just a loose fit.

that looks great, so much better than just painted,and is the glass going in the window above the door,?

or the top windows,?

lov it ,its great ,

oh cool ta Richi thats so nice of you, do real appreciate it

 

[Richi72]

Hi Moni,

no problem at all.

yes the stained glass is going to be above the door.

I decided to go with the 2end one of the left from the first stained glasses picture.

The roses didn't fit that well, didn't look good / I didn't like it.

At the moment i am making the last adjustments so i can glue them in place.

Cheers Richi

 

[monica]

oh nice cannot wait to see how it turns out and that is a nice pick as well,

and thank you for the offer of resizing, very nice of you

 

[Richi72]

Hi all,

so here’s a small update.

No big steps in the moment but a lot of small stuff.

Finished the lower windows, put in the glass stained ones in and some white cardboard behind it to get a better visibility.

Did the inside of the doors and windows.

But here are some piccies.
