These are some amazing techniques for scratchbuilding doors and windows. I love how you’ve created the layers for each piece and didn’t go for a flat build. Obviously it takes more time to do it that way but the end result is always satisfying. Cheers! Kaustav
You could try - it’s not going to be as strong so won’t work if the model will be handled. But it might be fine for a display model. There’s also canopy glue which many modellers use for gluing clear plastic as it doesn’t fog or damage the clear plastic sheets. I need to get some of that one day.

Great idea to use double sided tape to hold them whilst painting. 😊
Yes it’s something I’ve seen others do, so not an original idea. Glad I can pass the tip on further though. 😊

Thanks very much for your feedback. Yes, it’s time consuming!
Detail is amazing.
Thank you, I had a lot of fun with the details of this diorama build!
This is fantastic and inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you! It was a very enjoyable project. Looking at it right now on the display shelf in my office. 😊
Really interesting and good work. Thanks
You’re welcome, it was a fun project!
Nice and realistic shops ! Bravo
Thanks, it’s a bigger project than I thought both in size and complexity. But I’m enjoying the process!
Where are you on the Pacific Coast? Always great to see new techniques and builds
I’m in Victoria, BC, Canada 🇨🇦
I am in Toronto and just recently bought some of that material. have a couple of builds in mind👍
@charlie1872 Awesome, let me know how your builds go.
Can I use tacky foam glue to glue the polystyrene strips onto the clear plastic pieces too?

For future reference, all windows in Japan have mosquito nets(often black) in front of them..... That is what you understandebly thought of as boards
Thank you, that’s good to know. At 1:48 I’m not sure if I could even accurately model the texture of the mosquito screen.
