here are the card stock window mullions i cut with an xacto knife...not perfect...but close enough for government work...the card stock i had was not red enough...so i painted with bright red craft paint...guess i could have used red foil...may add a coat of high gloss clear over the red paint and see how they look then...

my very best regards...howard...

Hi Howard: Great start. I have this building but with a tower and steeple in addition. I always wondered if the HOM might have originally had one.
I found a picture that I had titled Teds Blue Church. Enjoy

I was going to add that the HOM is missing a tower. That house is mine, and later I saw it on ebay with a tower. So Tom's post is correct, mine is missing the tower. Another project to add to my list. Howard's house looks fabulous!
