Waitoa Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share #127 Posted January 2, 2021 Couldn’t find the product Ekis recommended so used a bit of painted gauze with clear plastic. Looks ok but the plastic is a bit too clear for glass of this time. Still battling through the tiles.

Ekis Posted January 3, 2021 Share #128 Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) You can, perhaps, find these covers (in France, they are used by schoolchildren to cover their class books) in transparent plastic of color (red, blue, yellow, ...) which you would cut a small square to put from behind in addition to your current glazing. It would give a more religious side to this skylight, I think, and it's easy to do, isn't it?

Waitoa Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share #138 Posted January 16, 2021 Finally finished St Jude’s with cloisters and priests’ accommodation. Rethought the way I was doing the ridges and think this looks better as although not going for any hyper realism the first ones were a bit chunky. Taken far longer than I thought it would and need to decide if I move on to another building, landscape it or finish something else in my stash. Thoroughly enjoyed this type of model and would recommend people having a crack.
