Hello,

doing some more work:


The good old paintbrush was used to apply the coulors.





This time i used clear plastic sheet. This clear styrene plastic sheets is found usually as stiffeners for the collars of men's shirts in sales packagings. Here as useful recycling project for model railroad purposes.
For the window crosses i had new ideas:
- cut small narrow stripes of styrene
- paint this narrow stripe in the coulor they should be
- cut this stripes in suitable pieces
- to create a window cross you need 3 of them
- first stripe going vertical contiously
- second stripe going from middle of the prospective cross horizontal
- third stripe as above
- glue them onto a piece of clear styrene sheet
- all three pieces forming a window cross
- cut the so made sash bar to the desired lenghts with the crosspoint in the middle; cut only the stripes, not the sheet
- the remaining stripes should now have the lenghts to fit into the window opening
- remove the cut off pieces from the sheet
- cut now the sheet a little bit larger than the window opening
- glue it into the opening





When everything is right, the sash window should now have a perfect fit.
Here the chimney supports were made out of a piece of 0.3mm brass wire slung arong the chimney tube.
Also the struts for the cupola were made out of 0.5mm brass wire.
