The only issue I have with them is they don't have a way to remove the glass unless you take the entire window apart. And then you have to glue it back together. Not great.<br /><br />I'd love to look at the site, just to see what you're talking about, and maybe get to know it a bit. Our library has a 3D printer as well but all the programs for designing stuff is so intimidating.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074992134112478195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-43525974252446980222017-07-06T10:49:48.962-05:002017-07-06T10:49:48.962-05:00NOOO WAYYY those side windows are the top hinged o...NOOO WAYYY those side windows are the top hinged ones?!!!?! WHAT? That's incredible. You made them look sooo good! I had honestly thought they were a lost cause.<br />And I'm sure you'll make something amazing out of cardboard! But really don't be too scared of 3D printing, the site I use is like stacking legos or blocks together. No techie knowledge required ;) Just let me know if you ever change your mind!

With just two, they do look a little odd until they've beefed up a bit. The vertical hinge ones next to the fireplace are the same window, just turned on their side.<br /><br />3D printing scares me a bit, I want to play around with cardboard and see if I can get something made that way.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074992134112478195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-27661669905419822972017-07-05T20:02:04.487-05:002017-07-05T20:02:04.487-05:00I think you really nailed the windows!

I always thought they looked a little off, but the way you've added to them makes such a difference. They look realistic now. (Maybe I won't throw mine away in a box just yet...) My first thought with the door handle was 3D printing... ;) let me know if you're interested in going down that route. I can totally help you out :)Kristine PaperDollMiniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348940337267272223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-29841183761121363752017-07-03T10:26:26.751-05:002017-07-03T10:26:26.751-05:00Thanks!
