Ornamental rooftop cresting and finials — the finishing touches for a scale-model building. The render shows a slim rectangular frame carrying a row of repeated fleur-de-lis finials: pointed lily heads rising from scrolled, symmetrical brackets, the kind of decorative ironwork that once ran along the ridge of a rotunda or tower roof. The accompanying files round the set out into a proper accessory pack — a rotunda owl-window detail, an oeil-de-boeuf (bullseye) window surround, building flags, and ridge crests for both a round rotunda and a corner tower. It's aimed at diorama builders, model-railway scenery makers and architectural modellers who want crisp, ready-made period ornament to lift a plain structure: cresting for the ridge line, finials for the turrets, and window dressing for the facade. Print notes • These are fine, spindly parts — print in resin at a low layer height for the sharpest lily tips and scroll detail. • Orient each run flat-backed to the plate or lightly angled, placing supports on the outer frame rather than the delicate finials. • Check the scale before slicing: set the cresting length to match your building's ridge, and duplicate segments end to end for a longer roofline. • A wash of dark paint dry-brushed with metallic grey reads convincingly as aged wrought iron.
