The windows and door I’m using for my 1:24 scale Craftsman bungalow vignette are Real Good Toys components that I bought off eBay. I’ve never seen these available for sale individually, but they match the components in the (now discontinued) East Side Townhouse as well as the Queen Anne (which is only available in 1:12 scale).
These windows come with pre-assembled interior trim. I assume the window plastic is supposed to be wedged between the exterior and interior trim, but mine either didn’t come with plastic or I’ve misplaced it. I cut out some of the thin acetate and glued it to the exterior window piece with dots of super glue.
Then I covered the exposed wood with stained pieces.
Here’s how that looks. I’ll add additional trim, this is just the first step. I held off on doing the smaller windows for now because I might want to do those as stained glass.
Next I glued the windows into the house and added the headers I made back in the beginning of the project.
Back then I had also assembled a door frame, but that fell apart at some point.
The frame fit nicely into the door hole at the time, but the siding must have changed the size of the hole a little, because the pieces had to be shoved in there. I managed to get the door pin-hinged again and get all the pieces in place.
