The next photo shows three windows. The one on the left is a window with no stain/paint. The window in the center is stained with Flowuil Teak. The window on the right has the 1X2s glued tot he back of the mullions and stained with the Teak stain.

The stain on the center window would work well for the painting on the rear.



Here is how the window looks in place with the HO scale 1X2s.

Here is a look at the two windows and rear door. All trimmed in the 1X2s. The edges of the door are trimmed with a 1X3.

They are not yet glued in place.

The look from the outside doesn't show the 1X2s.



Now I can say I did it but won't be doing it on future builds unless I plan on scratch building the entire window and door.

Tom, windows and interior details add much to an already excellent model.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm just catching up after being away for a couple of days.  Tom, why did you add the 1x2 to the windows?  Thanks!

Dave,

I guess my best answer is that I wanted to try it. However, I also didn't think the back side of the gray plastic windows would look correct with the wood wainscoting and trim. So, I went ahead and trimmed the entire back wall!  8)
