Interesting concept too, especially in larger scales and certainly food for thought and all the more remarkable in 2mm scale.

Funny you should say that, but this has piqued my interest in larger scales. With this method of construction it would be easy to make and fit out interiors.

Making good progress with Kilmore Cathedral. About 45 hours work done so far. I've used the sticky label method for the windows.

No stopping you Kevin. Great stuff! When you say "the sticky label method for windows", do you literally cut shapes from labels and stick them on. If so how do you manage the "lead" Xs as  glass? In other words, what do you stick the window frames/labels to?

I learned the sticky label method from this Chandwell video. You print the windows onto sticky labels, stick them to acetate and cut out the openings. The Xs on the glass are printed on acetate and added as an addition layer behind the main window.
