Steam Railroading posted:For your stained glass problem.
I would suggest you use a drawing program on your computer. Draw them out and then have them printed on transparency material at FedEx office (they used to be Kinkos) or some place like that.
Steam Railroading,
Actually, I thought the stained glass would be the easy part but now I'm not so sure. My plan was to cut out the shapes and add the leading via a thin brush and silver paint. The raised paint for the leading, if it works, would add visual texture. At one point I considered thin 35 mm slide tape for simulating edging. But it likely won't work at this scale.
However, your suggestion of drawing the features would certainly solve the problem of the stained glass, the leading, AND the aluminum framing. And you can't beat the precision that a drawing program affords. I will give this some serious thought! Thanks!
Your suggestion makes me wonder whether there might be a way to use scanning/xeroxing and printing to generate a template for cutting a single piece for the inside trim.
Thanks for getting the wheels turning!
