Plastering and gluing - more bits n pieces

It would be So nice and helpful if I were to start a house and work from start to finish in a nice neat organized and orderly manner but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon :o Unfortunately my poor ol brain just doesn't think that way so I end up working a little on the front, the inside, the front, the inside, one day stones, the next wood then back to stones. .. So here's my latest escapades with the Orchid
I have been racking my brain to come up with an easy way to do the stained glass windows. Unfortunately nothing has worked except the gallery glass and I can't find the gallery glass paints I have :lol: - I tried using Workable Fixative spray.. that didnt' work to help the ink dry... I tried using testors kit paints.. that didn't look good at all - so I'm back to searching for the glass paints I have somewhere.. in the mean time I started plastering the inside of the gables.. or dormers.. I'm very bad with correct terms on these but I was asked a question the other day about plastering.. do I do it before or after I put the house together and I said without hessitation After... only today I found that sometimes it's a good idea to do some of it before assembly - it was a lot easier to plaster the interior of the gablesand then glue them thusly:
You might notice in the last blog post the house had wooden beams but they weren't glued in yet - just a dry test fit once I get all the plaster finished the beams will all get their stain and texture and be glued in place but I don't want to get any plaster on them if I can help it and I've still got more of that to do once the glue is dried and in place.
So here is the front - almost as it will look when finished. I still haven't decided if I like the plaster look on the outside of roofline or if I should try to go for a smaller block work. I think the color is definitely wrong for the exterior and I'm leaning toward smaller block work up there to match the larger blocks below.
