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.

[Richi72]

Hi all,

thanks for the nice compliments.

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 , :D

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:rolleyes:.

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.
