Philip, I'm glad you got prints that you're happy with.
Waiting to see now what you come up with for the swinging door.

Howdy Philip,

You have been busy! Nice work on the windows. They look terrific in the structure.

Have fun,

Thanks! I have the floor down, 3 walls up and the second story floor joist are in. Needs decked, Oops and the saloon door is done but need a floor in order to proceed. Fresh outta jamb saw for the trim. See demo.

Philip,

The windows turned out great and look like a natural fit to the structure. Well done.

Thank you Tom!

Added the floors inside. Eleven foot ceilings! Added the porch floor, door jambs and saloon doors. All the frames were painted with ivory followed by a wash of alcohol, india ink, and engine black. The plan is to add piers (brick) to get it off the ground. The porch roof is next.....may lean to or pitch. LEDs, roof trim and other details will follow. Comments and suggestion needed. Thanks for bearing with my molasses updates!

The build is coming together nicely. As Jerry said very good weathering on the window frames.

Philip, nice work on the windows and swing doors.
I'll make sure to bring my wallet.

Thanks for looking K-9, Rick, Curt, & Jerry!

First 2 rounds are free Rick! Cheers!

It's been a fun project modernizing this mess of a kit from 1960's.
