Er…I don’t mean you I mean the building. :wink:

Aw shucks

You gonna let us in on what method you used for the windows. They look good as they are

1/16 acrylic and a white paint pen.

The acrylic sets into place on the wall, into bits of PVC board glued in place

Those windows sure turned out nice. Do you just run the pen along a straight edge? Do you etch it to make sure that all the windows line up with the openings? I know I’d get it off by 1/16"…or more.

I put the acrylic in place, and put a dot in each corner of each window. Then I take the acrylic out, put it on my bench, and use a straight edge to make them all straight and aligned. I think Im going to ‘edge’ each window acrylic with white paint, to give it a bit more definition, and hide any errors. Still, they look good from 5 feet, which is the whole point.

Everything has been painted. Just waiting for it to dry so I don’t get my fingerprints over everything when I assemble it.

thats good news.
looking forward to seeing the building in paint.

Starting on the freight doors.
