After seeing the Captains work on the new houses for Callow Lane it got me thinking about how to create windows. Up till now I have used black frames by printing out on OHP. Whilst it works, its not perfect AND its always black as I can't print in white.

So along comes the Captain with his window method and it got me thinking how else can I do this, especially if the 2010 callange layout starts. Can I improve on what I have done, so using a few off cuts of pasticard I knocked this up.

The base is a piece of .75mm.

The brickwork is scale scenes "pasted" on by soaking in metpack

The window frame is .5mm (To think in reality)

The cross piece in the window is just an off cut off .5mm glued in

The glazing is something I actually cannot remember where it came from but I have a small pile of it in one corner of the shed.

I have to say that this is far better than the old method.

I think I will try this on a new building I am working on for my layout, but using a thinner piece for the frame. The walls for that will be card with brick paper instead which will give a better wall thickness.

Oh, and Captain - Thank you AND damn you in the same breath as this will keep me very quite for hours and drive me insane.
