That benching looks really very good and fills it out well, there looks to be a lot of 'timberwork' outside though. Another look at the photo indicates three back panels (2 vertical struts) with a single horizontal strut: might I suggest 'shaving' the extras off the model and also the matching strengtheners around the base? Both photo's we now have seem to show wide panels all around. Perhaps also hollow out the small lower panels for the glazing to even off the look of the stretcher bars?

@ianwest195 here is the updated version what I have done, reduced the back panels down to 3 and made them longer, removed the wood outline, made the door panels longer so they better match the pictures.

 

Please ignore the colour difference between roof and body my supplier did not have my normal white filament. Does not really make a difference you will not see it after painting.

I can take the rear panels all the way to the base and looking at the picture that is how they are what you think do the need going to base?

Just taken a look at your mods and I agree, something seemed off but couldn't immediately pin it down. The front panels- can the centre vertical bar go too? On that 2nd photo they seem to look wider and would match better than with the rear ones then.

There is another idea but not sure if the printer tolerances would allow it: on the windows could the small top panels be made slightly narrower, then introduce new ones at the bottom using the freed up space which would allow the three panel glazing that's displayed? If not the existing version will be taken on board by most modellers as 'good as it's gonna get', only fussier ones like us will even notice! 😊
