Today, even though I have only glazed one door and have the rest of the windows and doors to go, I couldn't resist doing a preliminary assembly by snapping the windows into place to get a feel for how the final outcome will be. I am now debating on the best way to power my strip LED's so, once the roof is put on in later photos, there is no adequate internal light. The first 3 photos, the roof was left off so the interior is visible through the windows and doors.
Note the polished brass ornaments and door handles. It is actually Testor's glossy metalic gold paint.
Before I put the roof on for the next 4 photos, I propped up a small LED flashlight in the corner so some of the interior can be seen. Once LED lighting is installed, I hope the interior will be MUCH more visible.
I am very pleased with the outcome of the lettering on the front of the roof. Bravo to Todd Architectural models for making the laser-cut sets of lettering that made this possible. I was originally going to glue the letters in place. But, the letter sets have peel-off backings that exposed self-stick adhesive backing. I was going to use glue because I did not think the adhesive backing on the letters would hold very well with the rough granite finish on the building. I was wrong. The self adhesive backing worked like a charm. They were quite easy to apply.
