The prototypes are modeled all in basswood-colored Taskboard. We can study all of the laser engraving and cutting for appearance and fit before we start blowing acrylic plastic. All of the add-on features are usually made in Laserboard so we see a contrast in pieces, again to make sure all fits. As for the finished product, we can certainly paint it as a tan-colored brick.
We agree about the door. Most likely will use fewer lites and it should have been painted brass, bronze or maybe black. I was more excited about how it was looking overall and slacked on that detail!
