    Jumped in again without counting, 33 windows on the front wall never mind the other walls ....

    Now I have the front wall layout sorted, just need to plan the side streets, these again will be a combination of the Large Terrace House and Low relief High street kits.

    Time for bed I think, and restart on window cutting tomorrow.

    Glutton for punishment. Just as well we don't gave a window tax anymore. :avatar:

    I would fear a load of bricked up windows. :avatar:

    Cheers

    Great to see that Toto has seen the light with Scalescenes. Certainly much more realistic than Metcalfe and if you do bodge something up, just reprint, re-cut and away you go. Can't do that with Metcalfe or Superquick ! ;)

    Now, looking at the second pic Toto posted, I'd say his getting ready to do his nails..! Just didn't see any nail varnish... :avatar::avatar:

    Cheers, Gary.

    Bit more work done this evening - inbetween playing with the 4F :whatever:

    Window apertures cut out

    [​IMG]

    Ashlar brick paper applied to the upper section - 2 sheets needed for the whole length.

    [​IMG]

    Then the windows apertures cut again

    [​IMG]

    Just need to wrap the windows round, then add a coat of varnish.

    Thats the window flaps stuck down, and hopefully dry enough to apply varnish before bed.

    A little progress - these O gauge thingies keep pulling me away.

    Started on the side wall

    [​IMG]

    Again based on the Large corner shop kit and the low relief high street, facade 4 - only the 1st two floors.
