Using the lattice windows for church buildings often gave me the feeling of coming up with too small or too low windows. Looking for solutins I came up with three variations. I. With this picture in mind: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/stainglassedwindow.bmp (deeplink) (who can help me out where this one came from? I would be happy to show my debts) I tried to make a double kind and extended it with a 2 x 6 arch. I also added a shutter: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/latticewindows014.jpg (deeplink) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/latticewindows015.jpg (deeplink) I like the concept, but think it better fits in with a castle type of building, instead of a church. II. Then I came up with this piece: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=30036 and made this nice window out of it: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/latticewindows016.jpg (deeplink) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/latticewindows017.jpg (deeplink) I'm happy to have found use of this big wing, aside of using it in space mocs. (Do I see here another link between space and castle? ;-)) III. After that I thought of using this piece: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=4151 and came up with the largest version, and in my opinion with a very decent kind of church window, easily filled with trans-plates to make the impression of stained glass windows: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/latticewindows011.jpg (deeplink) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/latticewindows010.jpg (deeplink) In this picture you can see all three of them: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Debarg/Windows/latticewindows009.jpg As always, let me know what you think!

(...) Wow - Those are great windows! I had been using the 8x8 lattice for windows, but it never occured to me to put stained glass in them.

Snippage (...) Snippage (...) Snippage (...) Holy Windows Batman!!! I really like the two example above. Very nice hack. I find LEGO has such a limited selection of windows. I'll definitely add these to my tool box. THanks for posting. Mike (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)
