RSS Fetcher Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 <p>To make a change from printing corrugated iron I thought I'd have a go at printing some window frames and brick plinth. Fen End Pit's architectural consultant pointed out that glass panes in this kind of window would never have been square. I intended these to look like cast iron frames with a hinged opening section in the centre. I intend to add a window sill to cover the edge of the lower section of 'wiggly tin'.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The base of the building was intended to have a brick plinth, this would have been two bricks thick so I've gone for a Flemish bond. As it is only 4 courses high it 'only' took about 2 hours to print. All I've done so far is paint it brick red and then paint the mortar with acrylic mix of white and tan.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I've now got the entire roof covered and the pins in place for the fastenings the timber around the doors is also complete. I've now got most of the new track ballasted (or should that be 'sanded') which is means that the new board begins to look much more complete.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> David</p><div id='attach_wrap' class='rounded clearfix'> <h4>Attached thumbnail(s)</h4> <ul> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[19676]' id='ipb-attach-url-871689-0-56733300-1500329434' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_07_2017/blogentry-7212-0-05147400-1500327887.jpg"title="IMG_6059.jpg - Size: 166.5KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_07_2017/blogentry-7212-0-05147400-1500327887_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-871689-0-56733300-1500329434' style='width:800;height:600' class='attach' width="800" height="600" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[19676]' id='ipb-attach-url-871690-0-57698100-1500329434' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_07_2017/blogentry-7212-0-31559900-1500327899.jpg"title="IMG_6060.jpg - Size: 141.44KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_07_2017/blogentry-7212-0-31559900-1500327899.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-871690-0-57698100-1500329434' style='width:589;height:764' class='attach' width="589" height="764" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[19676]' id='ipb-attach-url-871691-0-57702900-1500329434' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_07_2017/blogentry-7212-0-73675000-1500327909.jpg"title="IMG_6061.jpg - Size: 272.94KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_07_2017/blogentry-7212-0-73675000-1500327909_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-871691-0-57702900-1500329434' style='width:800;height:527' class='attach' width="800" height="527" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> </ul> </div> View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
