The rails have been added, and the whole model attached to a wooden base. Because of the uneven ground, polystyrene has been glued in place. The only thing that remains is to tile the roof, but I haven't managed to summon up the enthusiasm just yet!
The windows were constructed from clear plasticard, with a thin slice of white card to represent the sash, and the actual panes scored with a scalpel. The whole window was then painted, left to dry, then rubbed clear of paint, apart from where it has caught in the cuts and in the corners. Not all the paint has been rubbed off in this photo.
The window in situ. Light reflects off the cleaned panes creating a realistic appearance. The window frames on the actual building are now painted white, but as previously discussed, the period images suggest a darker paint or stain.
