Palace Gardens - making the Orangery

A few piccies of the main construction phases of the orangery for the palace gardens

The architects initial drawings ... 
 The basic structure, made from foamboard on a cardboard base...
 The basic structure with initial detail added ...
 The side doors and columns added....
 The roof on (I've made the roof removable) and column tops added...
 glazing for the front door/windows, I'm making this using clear plastic and strips of inkjet labels, work in progress ....

Oh my, the Orangery is coming along nicely! Your architects plans look nice too. I hope that you keep all of your drawings in a book somewhere.

The gardens are looking good so far. Any chance of some pineapple pits?
