Working on the Tower

This part is taking me quite awhile to do. I decided that it would be easier to put the inside window frames in before I put the sections together as it would be rather difficult to do it later. So I had to paint the stained glass, and sand and paint the window frames then glue them in place before I started to put the tower together.  Then with Julie and David helping, we put up the walls of the tower and glued them in place.  We used masking tape to hold it as tight as possible while the glue dried.

Once the glue had dried and the masking tape was removed, the gaps between the pieces were quite wide. These pieces did not fit that well together and one of the sections was a little warped.  The instructions that I have been following said that she used skewers to fill the gaps but I do not know what they are so I filled the gaps with polyfila.  This picture shows the work in process.

I still have to finish filling the gaps (the largest one is around the corner where the tower attaches to the wall) and then they will all have to be smoothed out. Once it is all dry, I will sand it smooth.  I have learned something new - the art of plastering!! LOL
