Running along the top of the window I have added two rows of bricks that are in high relief as well as being a darker color.I think that this will help to break up this massive brick wall.I may do the same to the upper story windows as well.
I have temporarily tacked on the bottom sill of the dining room window.The green trim will be weathered a bit later.

This design seemed to be quite popular during Victorian times ,with the center piece being of graystone .I am getting there slow but sure.If you can't stand repetition this is not the type of work for you.Luckily I got used to it early in my model shipbuilding days.

How easy is it to screw up? Let me count the ways.
I think our brick layer came back to work after a liquid lunch and somehow screwed up the brickwork.I only noticed the following after taking the pics.The two rows of dark colored bricks on the R/H side of the dining room window,are not level with the left.
The easiest fix would be to make the whole thing three rows instead of two.The other would be to lighten the dark bricks with acrylics but that could lead to problems.Maybe I will try something with pastels.
The window sills will be only temporarily installed for two reasons,I may in future want to lay the facade flat on its face and two they are too vulnerable to being broken off.
