Hopefully not too shabby.

I didn’t allow enough clearance* between the main frames and the sliding sash, so they do require fitting, but assuming that doesn’t reduce the play value too much….

* probably not helped by printing the sashes horizontal and the main frames upright.

0.5mm glazing, or thinner. Spare sashes too. Use the razor saw to de-raft them!

And for them wot don't know Simon has 3d printed the windows for my Pencarrow LSWR signal box. Cracking job. It was something that I really wasn't looking forward to making... Double cracking job.

And returning from my televisual fame :)) .... The 4mm side project will be travelling towards it's first show in little over 8 days. This building has been passing through the paint shop the last couple of nights...

Still a few areas to finish off- chimney, ridge tiles, corrugated roof included, but getting there.

A lovely little building put together by another in the group. I'm painting it so that we get a reasonable amount of consistency in finishing colour and tone.

Great Work, I thought at first glance that there was a mismatch in the red and blue courses and then I realized that the headers become stretchers at the corners.

Yes that's right. The headers are only darker because they are more burnt in the kiln, they are not a blue engineering brick. There's a few structures in the area where the brickie was an artist and arranged all the burnt headers in courses. You don't get that sort of attention to detail these days.
