I'd have trim up the sides and meeting the bat, too, but that might be quite hard to do.

I'll play around with adding some molding or appliques to the pediment to make it look more substantial. <br />Thanks!J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-17095071682006256092012-09-21T17:22:57.859-06:002012-09-21T17:22:57.859-06:00Yes, I will have to try painting the bat black.
