Victorian Terrace #2 - WIP

Sunday night I drew out the pieces needed on 3mm MDF sheet for the next terrace, and got the main pieces cut out Monday night, and glued these together.


And then tonight I cut out the remaining smaller rear wall pieces and chimney widening pieces. Glued and clamped together.



Three nights work... not bad...

I learned the hard way with the first one about the warping caused by the DAS clay cladding, so decided to construct the whole thing this time first before applying the clay.

Next part will be the matchstick window frames, balsa rear yard gates, and other door and window details...

Talking of which, the astute among you may have noticed the larger windows... I decided this would be a slightly more upmarket section of terrace with larger windows, and thus paying for more window tax...

I kid you not; in the olden days households were taxed for the numbers and size of windows they had - consequently it's possible to find many old examples of bricked up windows in British buildings, to avoid paying extra taxes!

Right, while the above dries , back to painting figures...
