Mini windows again
Look at my stern windows! (Still in progress.)
Made totally from scratch! I had to cut every little piece of wood and glue it in place! The hardest - or most time consuming part - was making the sashing bars for all the little panes, because each piece was an individual little tiny thinner-than-toothpick piece of wood. And actually I had to cut them in half, lengthwise, because they looked too thick.
I haven't decided what to do for glazing. I've thought of leaving them open with no glass, but I have a few different options to consider.
And NO, they don't open. *glares at anyone who dares criticize* I did THINK of making them openable, and it wouldn't have been too terribly much more difficult - oh who am I kidding? It WOULD have been much more difficult, and plus I didn't have the hardware, hinges and such. And it would have meant I would have to make a glazing decision right now, and and and... gah! So they are glued in place, immovable. And that's that!

(can be seen clearly in the scene where Killick tiptoes away while Jack is sleeping on the lockers. :D)
Btw, well done, for explaining the skylight away.
You had also asked me Stephen Bear's face measurements a while ago for a pair of glasses. Well, it is 2/8inch between his eyes, to the ears it is 14/8inch, and the sides would have to be 14/8inch to get them up and around his ears. Thought I'd mention that. ;D

2/8 inch meaning 1/4 inch between his eyes? He's so tiny!!! I had no idea he was so wee!

Yes 1/4 inch; Stephen Bear is that wee. :D Even Jack Bear only has 1/2 inch between his eyes.
Btw, I have sent you mails with several links to photos of Surprise (on Surprise) of October 28th. ;D
