Window mullions

After deciding to build Easton station on Portland, work started on working out the building.

A copy of B L Jacksons book was purchased, volume 2 Isle of Portland Railways. In there are some drawings of the station building, unfortunately there are no dimension or scale. Three afternoons were spent drawing this out to 4mm scale. The Two end gable ends were cut from 1.8mm ply.

Deciding that this wasn't thick enough they were laminated on to 1mm ply, still to be cut out.

Before going any further i needed to work out the size of the window mullions. Never having made one before, another couple of afternoons were spent drawing out a window.

A bit of experimentation, i have made one, at least now i know what size to cut the window apertures out to.

Only 4 of this size to made. This involves a lot a patience. There are 23 seperate pieces to this one window. Only 3 more to go.

and the inside.

Before i go insane, the actual window frames themselves still have to be made, then painted and glazing fitted.

Nearly 5 days to get to this point, well, i think i know what i am doing now, hopefully the next ones will be easier.

As they say, if it was easy..............
