The Chapel Part 3

Further progress today on the chapel.  The carcass has been glued together (using Slater's Mek-Pak),


the windows painted (using white primer and Ford Red Burgundy, both from Halfords)

 

and the quoins added (or at least some of them).


The quoins are a little tedious to make.  After drawing out onto Plastikard, each quoin is scribed and then cut out in a strip. A "V" is scribed along the length of the reverse side to allow the plastic to be folded 90 degrees.

  1. I'm too late with this, I know, but Ratio make excellent plastic quoins...however, you have done a marvellous job of these and the chapel is a super build.

  2. That would have saved a sore forefinger from wielding the scalpel. It hurts to type now!
