Internal window trim, rear edge trim, the discard pile

 I have all the interior window trim glued in now. However, as previously mentioned, there are some unsightly gaps which I'm undecided how to tackle.  Trying to use my normal polyfilla or gooey decorator's filler seems like a recipe for disaster with the close proximity to the wallpaper and the window plastic.  I don't think paint will sufficiently fill the gaps, although I do need to touch up the paint now on all the internal window trim.

I had to sand some of the upright sticks to be thinner, to fit into the gaps on the very sides of the bays. Otherwise they would have overlapped onto the window glass as seen from outside, because of the acute angle of the bay window opening.

Rear edge trim

I am covering up the raw edges of the floors and walls with some 5mm dark strip wood, sprayed with a couple of coats of lacquer.  Right away it makes the house look so much more finished.

For finishing the edges of the roof, I have bought some smooth stripwood that is the same width as the provided crappy kit wood trim sticks. I am painting the stripwood white, then I'll glue it directly to the rear roof edges.  Then I will glue the plastic decorative trim on top of the stripwood.  I can't put it underneath because then it would be partly concealed by the stripwood.  I am not using the clumsy roof edge trim from the kit, not least because life is too short to try to fill and smooth all of the awful wood cut outs.

The discard pile

Yes, all of this is going to the dump because I don't think I need any of it.  I went through the remaining sheets while checking the layout diagrams just to make sure.  This is mostly the components I didn't use such as the fireplace wall, the bathroom window and bathroom cabinet, the stairs, door and window trim, window seats, chimney flues, and decorative trim for the roof.  I don't need to keep it as potentially useful scrap either, because I still have a lot of similar bits that I kept from my Willowcrest build.  Now that the build is almost over, I've been able to put away a lot of stuff that's been sitting out for ages like leftover wallpaper, cladding, templates etc.
