Heya guys
I am quite sure that I have seen some online vendor selling architectural details, like cornishes, crenelations and such. All of it was made in resin. Any help with this would be most welcome!

Wills scenics (railway modelling products) do a lot of stuff like this in polystyrene. Could this be what you were thinking of?

atenociti workshop do some

It's mainly the crenelations we're having trouble finding.
Also, I've seen some people on here use some sort of plastic grid spaced around 5mm for window framing. Anyone know what I'm talking about, and where to find some?
-
The things we are looking for, are the decorations that are usually found on houses from late 1600 to 1700 above the windows. I am sure I have seen these in resin somewhere. I will post some pics tomorrow if no one have posted any good links.
-
For the window grid you could use the cross stitch sheeting, looks even better with car repair mesh behind it as leaded panes.

Yeah, these will be bought and used for sure. However I am still looking for the things that goes above the windows, not sure what they are called.

Can't help with the product but I think you mean the Lintel. It provides structural strength to the wall to make up for the gaping hole beneath it :) They can be plain or decorative.

Fenris games stock a good selection of building bits and pieces too, well worth looking at, Dormer windows and other bits and pieces. I can second atenociti workshop, Jed has a great selection of really nice metal windows, arches and frames designed to plug into 5mm foamboard and loads of the usual railway scenics doors/windows etc...

Both these vendors have allready been mentioned, but alas, not really what we are looking for, some might be useful though.
The correct word would be Door and Window PEDIMENT(s).

The correct word would in fact be miniature PEDANT Sonny... ;)

Hey the beard's almost right, good call! ;)

Lots of O/ 0 gauge stuff, maybe you'll find something suitable:

I feel like this will become a recurring theme in my replies to your comments, but: Nice, links, ink!
We still haven't found the pediments we're looking for, though. In case someone else, like me, hasn't heard the term before, it's these things we're after:

Minus the creepy nurglish toddler.
Both me and Sonny are sure we've seen a maker of resin pediments before. We just can't seem to find it at the moment.

Hm, I think Grandt Line (http://www.grandtline.com/model_railroad/architectural_index.htm) have some 1:48 windows with pediments.
.:edit:.

I apologise for the 'threadomancy', but I just saw a product online and remembered this thread. Figured it would be helpful: http://www.kobblestone.ca/catalogue/accessories/01.html
Scroll down to the 'Arch - Angle Roof' product. Hope that's helpful
-
Thanks for the link, not entirely what we are looking for. I mean we could use these with our own windows, but kind of unnecerary to break the windows just to get the rather plain pediments, then I think its easier for us to make our own and cast them in the end. Even though, these are rather nice windows actually.
I think its odd that we cant find the resin pediments vendor :S
-
I posted a thread here ages ago looking for pediments and friezes... didn't find very much. If you find the vendor you're looking for, please post here - I'd kill for something similar!

Hola Psynerwyche, I sure will do. I will go through my old link list from my old harddrive tonight... if I can get the strenght for it, there are so many dead links that its anoying... well there are so many link, period. Hehe. Anyway, if I find anything useful I will post in this thread.
