Prototype modeling - how far can you take it?

[Sumpter250]

Back to the original subject...I was looking at the windows that are going in my kitbash challenge building and noticed a problem. I am planning on modeling summer - but the windows are closed! For those of us modeling pre-AC summer time, wouldn't you expect the windows to be wide open?

Now how to make the windows look open...

There is nothing made, that can't be modified.

As I recall, the trick with double hung windows was to center both sashes so that hot air could escape from the top, and cool air could enter from the bottom. Whether true or not, a lot of people did just that, so it would be an option. An electric fan, on a table, just inside the window would be another option. Oh, you can cut up the kit windows that won't be visible, and use them to make the changes to those that are, if the window castings aren't well enough designed to be modified. Cut the frames away, leaving only the sashes, and then, on the visible windows, cut away only the sashes, adding the ones you cut the frames away from, in whatever position you want. The sashes can be sanded thinner if you want.
