I use among other things overhead projector transparancy film for inkjet printers. I scan the wall and export the print to paintshop. This gives me the exact window sizes. I then draw in cross frames and curtains or binds or have even pasted in pictures of people. I then print, cut, n glue. For dirty dusty windows use plastic milk cartons. They look great in factories and feedmills with clear xmas tree bulbs run at low voltage to give yellow cast to light. Also a really cheap source of windows is the plastic of display packages from store. All these plastics work best glue with gel superglue (ca). I am building a really big building now (10 story hotel) out of acrylic window glase from the hardware store and then adding scribed lines for panes. I am adding facia and balconies out of styrene and floors and walls inside from foamcore.
