I used matchsticks to assemble the frame. I used either crazy glue or Aleenes tacky glue.

I normally assembled two pieces at a time (L-piece). Once dried, I glue two “L-pieces” together. You can try to glue the four pieces in one go, but it often does not stick properly or it doesn’t look square/rectangular enough.

The frame tends to be a bit on the flimsy side at that point, so once everything is dry, I often apply an extra layer of watered-down pva glue.

I like to paint the frame at that point. It’s faster and it’s a bit cleaner.

Once the paint is dry, I glue the frame onto meshwire with Aleene tacky glue. I often sprinkle some baking soda over the glue. It seems to form a slightly stronger bond, since the contact surface between the meshwire and the frame is relatively small.

And there you have it: a nice small medieval-looking window for a fancy ruined building 🙂

After cutting the foamboard into wall sections, I cut the window “space” onto the foamboard before I assemble the whole thing.

To speed the process, I tend to mass produce the windows at the beginning of a build.

As you can see, the holes in the walls don’t always fit the window frame perfectly. I fill the space with extra wood pieces or I fill it later with plaster/spackling compound.

For variation, I made some double/triple windows, boarded-up windows, shutters to go with some windows, and so onFor variation, I made some double/triple windows, boarded-up windows, shutters to go with some windows, and so on
