I know I have a few errors in the painting. I will fix it after it dries with my White Gelly Roll 10 Pen.

The Instructions called for 1.5x2mm Bokapi Planks for the Gallery Planking but I decided to use some spare .5x5mm Walnut Planks which I had lying around which I used my mini Table Saw to cut down to 2.5mm.

Sanding down the Gallery

I’m using some .5x5mm Walnut Planks which I cut down to 2.5mm. 🤔🙄

I also used Contact Cement.

I had to put those .5mm Strips inside the Windows to bring out the Windows more than they were.
