Stage Four
Lift out sections
To make a lift out section, place a piece of paper along the top of the ¼" x ¾" that runs along the front edge base of your room. This is to create a small gap to allow the lift out section to slide the work in and out when you have completed your work.
Using ¾" x ½" softwood section cut & lay a piece flat along the top of the paper just described, cut another to fit the top section. Cut as for the picture opposite 4 uprights to fit between the top and bottom plate, then glue into place.
To Create a window
This time we are going to use ¼" square section to create the windows. Decide on the height of the window you require, I use 4" , then cut a piece to fit from left to right along the front top edge of the opening, glue into place. Cut and glue 2 pieces for the height of the window, glue one onto left side and one to the right side in line with the front edge.
To Create a Window sill
To fit the window sill, take a piece of 1¼" x ½" and lay it against the window frame where it is to be sited. With a pencil draw a line at each end denoting the length and then draw a line on the inside edge. From the back edge, from the inside line mark a line ¾" from the back. Cut out the waste from each end this will allow the window sill to slot into and under the window frame. Once it fits nice and snug you can glue into place.
Leading Effect
The next thing we want to do is lead the window, this can be achieved by a few different methods but we are going to work with a sheet of Acetate and Pebeo relief out-liner, this can be obtained from any good art shop.
Glue into Frame
Once you have finished leading your acetate and it is now dried we can look at gluing into the the window frame. Check to make sure it fits and is the correct way up, take some modelers craft glue that dries clear and apply a small amount to the inside edge of the frame all around and the centre column. Press into place and wait to dry.
