It is beautiful! Have you talked about how you've done the leaded windows before? I'd love to do something similar to my Newberg!

Theyre really easy. Just get some thin (really thin) plexiglass from hobby lobby (stained glass section) cut it to fit the window by using the original plastic kit window pane as a pattern,I use a utility knife, score and pop it. Tape the new window down over a diamond pane grid, I use the one from Ed Sibbets book, but you could just print one out. Get some lead golf tape. With a utility knife cut a section into strips about 1/16 inch wide( I eyeball it, doesn't have to be exact) and lay it down (one side is sticky)following the grid pattern. You can then turn the window over and do the other side (optional) if you want. I finish with gallery glass clear, sometimes add accents of other colors. I found my tape by searching online, and cant remember now where I bought it from. I use a quilters self healing mat and plastic quilters ruler for my cutting guides. Good luck, let me know if you need further help :)

Most golf stores carry the lead tape or if you know any golfers maybe they might have some they could give you to try it out.
