Funny you should say that, but this has piqued my interest in larger scales. With this method of construction it would be easy to make and fit out interiors.

If so how do you manage the "lead" Xs as glass? In other words, what do you stick the window frames/labels to?

In other words, what do you stick the window frames/labels to? I learned the sticky label method from this Chandwell video. You print the windows onto sticky labels, stick them to acetate and cut out the openings. The Xs on the glass are printed on acetate and added as an addition layer behind the main window. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Sweeney Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 I finally got the Cathedral finished. Next job is to finish Cavan Town Hall, which is well on. Looking for future projects, I really like the look of these two, Kinsale Market House and Bray Town Hall, 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush and Lusk Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Fabulous modelling Kevin, envious of your talent - Bray Town Hall is a most impressive building, always admired it, rather untypically Irish, but very attractive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin, i read your entire post and followed links, i am so impressed with all of it, as for the quote above about your unused locos awaiting for finished track, with buildings like yours, an empty railway not distract from all that amazing architecture. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
