Thanks Guys!
Haha! I wish. The window trim was hand painted with a fine tipped brush. I had to do a couple of light coats of the colour in order to hide the Tuscan Red which I applied to the whole building at first. I learned a lot from this build. The next time to get even crisper lines, I'm going to try and build the windows separately hit them with the airbrush and then install them in the building.
Thanks again for the compliments. I think the final step for this project is to get the chimney installed, get the interior lights working again, and the flashing on the roof. I also plan to place it on a small 1/4 plywood base with a bit of ground cover and scenery, sort of a mini diorama, that I can spot on the layout when I ready to.
