Ein wunderbares Video, sehr angenehm erklärt, für mich als analogen Modellbahner ein wahres Lehrvideo. Für alte Hasen bestimmt nicht gedacht, denn die digitale Technik ist so umfassend geworden im Modellbahn und Modellbau Bereich, das man sie gar nimmer weg denken mag.
This is a really useful method for making windows! I like to buy some things ready made but I still prefer to make as much as I can by scratch building. Thanks for sharing this neat tutorial.
Thank you Michael! Good to hear you liked the video and the way of making windows. I would think that windows will be more and more 3D-printed, as the access to printers among general people increases. I have made a few projects with 3D-printed windows. You still need a kind of too-pricy printer to get it right.. But as things looks, these things will get better both in performance and lower in cost. Wish you a nice weekend!
I build wooden window frame. Then...on back side of window make very small cuts with X-acto knife. White thread pulled tight crisscrossing the window frame and tiny drop of Superglue. Hold until set. Lightly paint the threat with color of choice. The paint will glue the threads in place. Add plastic window material to the inside.
+William Wade Hi William! It´s hard to do with a can because the can gives soo much paint in the beam. Try spraying from a good distance, and it might work. Please comment in the thread again about how it Went.
How do you build the structure with the tanks on it that are behind you in the beginning of this video? It is an interesting structure and I might want to create something similar for display purposes in the future.
Hello, I want to find out the best way to glue cut bits of frosted acrylic into 3mm foamcore window holes. Any good ideas to getting really clean results?
Thanks for the reply Marklin. I have a few pictures of models I made if you wanna have a look sometime: a4jp.com/services-list/gallery-handmade-models/
Very useful. The 2 rulers with a clamp was a great tip as well!
bloody hell - using two rulers and a clamp to make a jig…! Why did I never think of that? Brilliant!

Such dedication to detail and your patience is fantastic 👏👏 well done x
What a great, simple technique for making really any kind of scale window...end result looks much better than the clunky plastic ones in the kits!

Thank you John! The good thing is the possibility to be able make any window. The downside is the hours of work required.
Very ingenious, well done.
Very clever! I enjoy your presentations!
Fantastic idea and one which I shall try. Many thanks.

Thanks for the tutorial, easy to understand
Thank you!
Nice simple method of banging out some great windows. :)
+Terranscapes Thank you! 👍

Excellent, Martin. Thanks.
great video, thanks...
you have marvelous ideas ...
Thank you Alfredo! 👍😊
Really great idea! !
+Greg Gidney Thank you Greg! 👍😊
Great thing about homemade is that windows, stones, bricks, etc may be scaled to be used on any gauge RR.
Jupp! 👍 That’s it. This method should work for N-scale (1:100) as well. I’m a bit uncertain about smaller scales though..
Hi Martin! As always, nice presented, very useful tips! greets from Austria
+XFlow Thank you! :)
I love it. Thanks.
Awesome!
Good ideas, well presented, very informative.

Very nice tutorial, very helpful, thank you. Do you have any on how the make a scratch build commercial building, like a down town scene
Many thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas. I will give this method a go. Could one use a can of spray paint in the absence of an air brush?

Great video but you might want to try using a cutting mat rather than cutting straight onto your desktop.
:) It´s me... I´ll consider buying one. Thank you for the advise!
I love this guy
+john ”Suzie” preston Love U too John! :)
excelente...
does standard white paint work instead as I don't have the funds for an airbrush as I'm only 13.thanks

Wow!
cool
Do you have measurements of those buildings for DIY , or do you buy the kits of different buildings and remodel them yourself ?
Hello, i would like to see this video in spanish. Thanks
An essential vid to watch. Unless you only want to model bomb shelters.
Lol I make miniature bomb shelters!! 😂😂😂
