HO scale windows

[Slim Jerkins]

I follow much the process Bob posted (good post Bob), with one small addition.


I find the plastic windows too smooth and flat and the edges are round. I deepen all the seams where wood trim meets another piece of trim. Then I roughen up the flat areas with a wire brush or 120 grid sand paper. All this gives depth and variations to the surfaces that are slight, yet noticeable and adds to the definition to the areas of the windows. To go the extra mile (kilometre) I thin the width of the mulleins to make them more to scale.

Oooh yeah good point Martin - I do that around doors. Never thought about doing the windows too.
