Great eastern lady,

I think you have done fantastically well, if I may add some constructive criticism here, your main bug bearer is in the bracing.

the thing with model structures, is that you only see what work has gone into the exterior of a model but just as much work s needed on the inside also.

It is vastly important in that you try to put sufficient time into interior bracing, to ensure all will be square and at correct right angles and in proportion.

once you have mastered that, there will be no holding you back.

Any questions, I will try to reply.

Hi Richard,

they are plasticard with microstrip for the windows and embossed sheets laid on then painted.

Hi Ian, thanks for your kind comments, the window sashes are made up with Evergreen micro strip plastic, glued directly onto the clear plastic sheet.

Hi Western Star,

thank you for the kind comments.

I do this as a full time occupation, I think if you follow certain rules you are half way there.

There are certain tools that are a must, a good steel ruler, measure then measure again, Engineers square to make sure everything is square/ at correct right angles etc.

A good cutting knife, like. Swan Morton No3 for example.

liquid glue like Mec pak, liquid poly or similar and not forgetting a cutting mat.

I Work with all the materials available, mainly plasticard, as it is quicker to work with.
