You can just see them in the doors of the upper 4 cottages, Terry, that were completed a couple of years ago...

Will you be adding the house numbers in the glass panels above the doors ?

They're probably not posh enough for that, Stu!

Excellent stuff Tim, a very quiet appearance of the Class 2 though!! :-) Actually I didn't even realise your Class 2 (assuming it is yours) was anywhere near ready, is it the Comet kit that was mentioned a while back now?

Yes, it's mine, and it made an appearance just to see if you were still paying attention!! ;-))

The windows are particularly good. How did you do them?Andrew

Thanks for that. Each sash is a seperate piece of glazing, which has the frame and glazing bars 'drawn' on using a Bob Moore lining pen, using neat Humbrol paints, as per his instructions.

Before that stage, however, the frames are applied as individual uprights and horizontal pieces of pre-painted Evergreen strip, approx 15 thou thick, glued in from behind using Evostick Impact adhesive. I tend to glue all upright pieces first, checking each one at a time to ensure that it (i) is vertical and (ii) doesn't protrude too much beyond the brick course.

Once the horizontal pieces are also glued in place and set, I cut out small squares of paper, and with a bit of thick card of a similar size backing the paper, I hold this up against the inside of the window frame and gently draw round the outside of the frame with a sharp pencil, so that I have a decent idea as to where to draw the sash frames in with the Bob Moore pen.

Hi Doug - just seen your question - I'll endeavour to do a sketch a quarter as good as yours as soon as I can!
