I've finally got something done! The first window has been added to the cottages. Built up from three layers of thin card to represent the sash, I've used the methods described in the Pendon book of cottage modelling. Its a really fiddly method and i've got a lot of them to do on this building alone. The houses will each have their own paint scheme in suitable period colours. Although not obvious from this angle, the three laminations give a good 3D effect and bring the building to life. This first cottage has two bay windows as well as the lean-to.
Despite there being a break in the blog for the last two months there have been some significant developments. The main one being the delivery of etches for six bogie carriages from Worsley Works. More about these shortly…...
