FOS' Pub Crawl Build

[ACL1504]

I finally have a little time to update the thread.

I decided to build the two bay window subassemblies next. The first bay window I built was the larger of the two. Window parts 13 and 14 are shown below with part 13 on top in the photo. Part 14 is to be glued to the top of part 13.  However, DO NOT GLUE them together yet.



Next I cut parts 21 and 23 from the carrier sheet. Parts 22 are to be glued to the inside of the bay window, part 13.



Continued in a few.

Per Doug's suggestion, I did find it necessary to lightly score the horizontal separation lines on each part of the windows. Do this carefully as you don't want to cut them apart. Lightly scoring them will help in getting a clean sharp bend for the bay window.



I then glued part framed window part to the base of parts 21 as shown.

Both parts 21 were glued to the top and bottom of the framed window section.

NOTE: Parts 21 were glued flush inside of the window.

When dry, part 14 was then glued to the top of part 13.



I used weights to hold the window side in place while the glue dried.

I then carefully sanded the top and bottom of the bay window. This also removed the small tabs from the carrier sheet.

Part 23 was then glued to the top of the bay window assembly. NOTE: Be sure this piece is centered over the top.

In the photo below, you can see how it looks and is supposed to fit into the front wall opening.

There is a little "light leak" between the wall and bay window. If you plan to light the interior as I do, this can be fixed, from the inside, with a little glue and then painted flat black.

If you don't light the interior, this won't be an issue.

Looking good, Tom.

You could also add some 6x6" trim to the sides of the opening and glue the bay window to that.  This may prove a better solution.

Cheers, Mark.

Cousin Brucie,

Thanks, yes, I finally was able to get my legs off the bed and walk around some. My time is the train shed is limited but I'm trying to make the most of it.

Time for a Diet Pepsi.
