Philip
Yes, Phillip, thanks for asking. I'm slowly getting back to modeling.
My problem now is if I sit too long at my workbench, my leg swells up on me.
My Doctor says it will take a long time to heal fully, so I do a little, walk around some,
and do a little more. If I do too much , my CEO will have me doing another 1:1 project.
And we don't want that
I might do another update in a couple more days.Rich

Last post by ACL1504 - December 15, 2025, 05:42:31 PMThis next photo shows the top of "B". You can see there is space for the other tab.
I then made a test fit for the next part that fits on top of "B" as explained in a post above.
Once satisfied with the fit, I glued the part to the top of "B".
Done for today.

Last post by ACL1504 - December 15, 2025, 05:37:50 PMThe tabs fit into the slots on part "B".
The next photo shows the lower bay window wall glued into part "B".
There are three arrows and two "X". No glue is to be applied to the "X" area as those slots share another part that fits on top of "B".

Baggage Car - Daily Chat / Re: Monday, December 15, 2025
Last post by jbvb - December 15, 2025, 05:36:18 PMGood evening, all. Sun's set on the NH seacoast and the 3" of snow on the ground this morning. Dinner next, followed by a Planning Board meeting. Low of 15F overnight, then Tuesday is forecast to reach but not exceed freezing. But Friday they guess a high of 54F. That'll be a good day for my attic layout.

Last post by ACL1504 - December 15, 2025, 05:24:02 PMI started building the two bay windows. The main parts making up the windows have angles at each end/side.
There is a very faint line where the part is to be bent. I lightly scored on the line making sure I cut enough into the line but not to cut the part off.
This lower part has to trim boards that fit on the outside.
I used pliers to hold the part and bent it at the scored line. You want to bend at the line and not the part itself.
The two trim board has adhesive on the back. I removed the paper and still added a little glue to the boards.
I then glued them to the lower wall as shown in the photo below. I made sure to carefully align the scored lines to fit properly on the wall section.

Last post by Mark Dalrymple - December 15, 2025, 05:22:30 PMGreat modelling, Matt.
Always a pleasure to see your work. The chipped stucco is very close to scale thickness. In a lot of plaster kits it is often significantly oversized. Fantastic attention to detail.
Cheers, Mark.
