Sorry the picture isn't as good as the others. This set of windows is for the back. Each side connects to the tree's above, as I mentioned before. What's the difference between sides? Each side of the lamp, though appears round, is really square. It points out like a compass, and it has sides. Ideally the lamp doesn't truly have a front or a back. I never designed it with doors. However I messed up on certain sides. The back wall has a sconce that has a different color then the others. It lightened up when I fired it. I tried to remake it over, and over, and over, at least 5 sets, but I later concluded it had something to do with what part of the glass that was used. And the only parts I had left made a light brown. I like things to be even, and since it isn't, it's now in the back.
Originally I planned for little wire tree's to go in the background. But now I'm not sure. I have a little pot for it in the background, you can barely see it in the picture, but it's right below the orange window in the center. I may use paint. Or a very, very thin wire. Otherwise the scale may be off.
Almost all the tree's in Sky City, are Youghiogheny red/clear Stipple. However a few tree's are brown/clear. When choosing the colors for each window, I had to be sure to choose the right colors so the the tree's matched top to bottom. I also wanted to make sure I matched (the best I could anyway), the shading where a shadow is in the same place where it ended from above.
