Larry,
I mostly use Tichy doors. but I have made a few on occaision. I used to try and get all those pieces to fit nicely together and be "perfectly sized" for the opening...only to find that the door was just a wee bit big and I would have to sand it down or modify the opening. This just speeds up the process for me and my "gorilla mitts".
You can see by looking at the close ups of the doors that they are not perfect, but that was alright because I want them to look "beat up".....and really, let's be honest, nobody will ever really be able to see them
I mean they may "know" that there are doors there, but their eyes will look right past them. They would take more notice if they weren't there.
I will now begin on the downspouts before I do the windows. I will be handling the building quite a bit and don't want to do that with the windows glued in. First I will see what I can do with styrene....I may have to use brass if I can't make the plastic look right.
