Lovely attention to those once ubiquitous items of everyday living us chaps of a certain age know so well. I like the lead flashing which show some undulation over the valley gutter slates.

The lead flashing is strips of Tamiya masking tape cut to size and painted with Tamiya gun metal paint. I find it sticks well to the plastic, and is easily pealed off without leaving any kind of residue.

Thanks Graham - as you guessed simply white acrylic paint, painted onto the clear plastic, I find gives quite a good impression of net curtains. The other curtains are, strips of paper, painted in various colours and, stuck inside the windows Clive 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
