These windows come in Black colour.
I have no problem in printing them but is there any way to change the black to some other colour ?
I just can't figure it out :oops:

Also see here…post 14 has a better illustration of the 'grey' frames…

Incidently, Metcalfe models pre-printed white window frames can be altered to any colour by using a dry water colour pencil on them, held at a low angle, again, and excess wiped off carefully with a damp cotton bud.

Amdaly,
Print out your chosen windows, photocopy them, load them into your graphics programme.
Invert them, print them on white paper, cut out the black bits, stick in window opening with clear acetate behind them.
No! it's not illegal if you work from your own photocopy but you could ask john Wiffen if he objects first.
Alternatively either print out in monochrome or line art in CMYK with a white PIGMENT ink, You will need a dedicated cartridge in the black cartridge slot or a monochrome printer with the white cartridge.
When you have your print cut out the black bits and mount the frames between the inner face of the window opening and a piece of acetate. If you print on acetate using the white cartridge in the black slot and don't invert you get white frames. Simply using your fill colour tool in something like photoshop prints whatever colour you choose.
About the only other colour you will find is brown and if you want something other you will need to light the interior of the model or it will not show up.
Regards
Jim

I then printed them out in the colour I wanted & it seemed to work ok for me.
I tried out various other methods but I simply couldn't get it to work.

I am fortunate in that I have AutoCAD and I draw and printI eventually got it by using Microsoft Publisher.I set up simple two pane windows in Publisher & adjusted the size until they fitted the Scalescenes window size.
