I modeled it in Alibre, and used Agisoft Photoscan to capture the window boxes, which are printed separately in green.  The window lites are printed 1 thread thick, 6 layers high and glued onto 2 layer squares of Crysta-Line Yellow.  The ground plane is 100mmx90mm.  The paint is a bit rough since it's my first time doing something like that, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
