Hi Simon,
Is this type of window what you are trying to replicate?
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=30185
If so...
I don't think it will be that difficult. I haven't tried it though.
If you take a window like the one I made here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=76660
and place the two inner green columns (made from 1x1 rounds) out either a
whole stud or half stud. Attach the left most and right most stacks of white
2x2 windows using only 1 stud at the top and bottom so you can angle them
creating the effect of a bay window. Again, I havent tried it, but I think
it will work. I think the 1x1 rounds will provide just enough room to creat
the desired angles.
I hope you find this helpful.
Thanks,
Jonathan
