Tmo kitbash '24 build challenge

[TMo]

Windows!  I have a lot of these modules to do to complete this project, and the first one is always the hardest, as you find out what needs to be done first, and what's the best sequence.  The brick casing for the windows is inset inside the pilaster fronts and then the window frame is inset further back.  The 3d quality to is amazing in terms of detail, but to get the effect, it's quite a bit of work.

Pilaster frames went in first, and I think that was a good call.  I anchored those to the lower story with a cardstock cleat backing on the bottom of each pilaster foot and then glued each pilaster column to the story below it via the cleat.

   

Next came building the window unit, including cutting out two sections of pane to allow for tilt in/out windows, and then folding the frames up around the windows.  The brick frame was then cut and folded and the window was cut out of it.

   

Wrong choice as it turns out, but I decided to glue the window frame into the brick frame at this point.

   

...and then glued the whole assembly into the open area between the pilasters.

   

The only change I'll make with the next one will be to glue the window unit in last.  Lots more of these units to do.  There will be 4 on each of these 3 upper stories on this section of the warehouse...  Like I said the 3d look is worth the exasperation.  Reminds me of putting the bands around the silos...
