brandan Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I am trying to finish a orchid for a little girl in a hurry and I went to finish the bay window only to find that the window peices don't fit like they are supposed to. ie . the bottom is supposed to fit on a lip that the inner window is too large to accomadate. please anyone let me know what you think. thanks so much Brandaen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 double check your window frame pieces, the inner ones are narrower than the outer ones so they'll fit, and it's unfortunately fairly easy to get them backwards, and I know this because I did that and had to disassemble the bay windows and redo them, and they did fit.

Minis On The Edge Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I think that is the problem too. I did the same thing (during a moment when I was not following my instructions cause I had lost them ) I hope we get the chance to see this house! Welcome to the neighborhood!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyJudi Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yep, I had the same problem. Fortunately I noticed before the glue was completely dry. Good luck and welcome to the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandan Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 thanks evreyone very much !!! I appreciate the help unfortunately I double checked last night thinking the same thing and there is just no way for there to be a lip on the bottom. So, in the interest of time I am going to make the inner moulding myself so it fits correctly. Just wasn't sure lol thought maybe I was crazy but the lip that is supposed to happen is only on the sides and not the bottom where that floor of the bay is supposed to rest. Any rate, I have built a lot of the greenleaf houses in the last year and I will post a picture of this one as soon as I can. Also finished the corona houseboat and I am entering the contest so cross your fingers lol thanks again, Brandaen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi and welcome to the forum. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. I've built the Orchid too, and am in the process of building my second Orchid. It's such a great house. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandan Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 It is a beautiful house ! I have built the Arthur, the Coventry, the sugarplum, the trailer and the buttercup .. I have a number of kits to play with lol . I wanted to practice and perfect the art of miniatures so that one day I could be as great as others. I have only been doing it all for a year.
