Window treatments

Did you give any thought to "Evan's Window Designer"?

Besides painting curtains on the clear plastic glazing, and gluing printed (Google images) room interiors spaced 1/4" to 1/2" behind the clear plastic, one of the easiest things I have done is use filament tape to simulate vertical or horizontal blinds, and they look great. You need to look for filament tape that has the filament strands spaced properly, as in the following picture:

Good luck,

Alex

Mike,

To be honest, it was quite a while ago, and I cannot remember. It must have been at Home Depot or WalMart. The one I have is 3M Highland 897.

Here are some examples:

This one, if you look closely, you can see a pool table, furniture, and more - inside.

Might want to look at Branchline Models - they sell "Window Treatment Sheets" that make up curtains and other types of interior details for windows.

A lot of excellent tips. Look forward to trying all of these.

For those buildings that are close enough to see inside the windows and where I just want a general interior scene, I don't do window coverings but put an interior scene an inch or so behind the front.  To get started, I go to Google photos.  Type in the type of interior I am interested in, e.g.. flower shop, office interior, etc. then "photo" and go through what will be hundreds of photos.  Click on the ones I am interested in and save them to my desktop.  I then resize them in Photoshop  and and print them.  Mount them an inch or so behind the window and I have an interior.

I do the same thing when doing a detailed interior, mounting photos to the walls to expand the details I am installing.
