Doors & windows for Sargents roundhouse

spent the last few days making the doors and windows.
These are multi part assemblies.

The windows have a frame, a sash, upper window with frame and lower postionable window plus laser cut aceate for the window glass.

 Got the outside frames in place. I then added the window bits to this.
For the side walls I built the whole window and popped them in. I added a small drop of glue to the lower window bit, as the tend to fall out since there is not that much self adhesive for it to grip.
In this pic (above) you can also see the woodgrain texture I put into the walls

The upper window with frame.
 
Here are the parts to make one door.
On the far left are the 2 doorframes, inner and outer door plus the window material (in white, still has the protective paper on it).
the center 2 doors are a complete inner and outer part of the door. The window glazing gets sandwiched between the 2 sections. The far right pic is a complete door assy

Below is a pair of completed doors. Just need to add the hinges.
I found that my doors had a curl to them so I put them on a glass table and piled some heavy books on them overnight to flatten them out.

 
Below are 2 shots of the building with the windows all installed.
Need to hit the walls and windows with some chalk to dirty them up a bit

Almost done. Need to tarpaper the roof next.
