Fretwork between bolectons on Clerestory stock


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to get the curved fretwork (?) that is between the doors under the windows on Clerestory coaches done.
No, I don't have a silhoutte cutter.
Been trying the Tamiya putty but doesn't appear to successful.
Suggestions would be appreciated!
For the record, I am modelling the late 30's period so most was still there.

 

TIA
Khris

If you have access to a K & S Metals stockist, you could easily make a bespoke hole punch.

 

The vertical dimension is 5" for the vast majority of GW coaches, so in 4mm that equates to 1.67mm, and in 7mm 2.91mm

 

Nearest K & S tube to those are:

 

8125 = 1/16" OD

9821 = 3mm OD

 

To make the mouldings, put a bevel on the inside of the tube & punch out two holes in 5 thou plastikard then connect them with a couple of scalpel cuts.

Expect a lot of scrap mouldings :)
