Before I progressed further with the jetty, I had to make my mind up about what else was going to go on the baseboard on which the jetty was situated since I would have to do a lot of scenic work before the jetty was finally planted in position.. That got me started on a second building which would go behind the jetty. This second building had a lot of windows so I started thinking about a way of making the windows, then decided to make windows for the first building to work out a method. All the building prototypes I have chosen for the layout so far have got sash windows of some type so I started to work out a method of making them which would give a fair representation.
I decided to use thin card to do the glazing bars and frames and to use this in layers to give a bit of depth to the glazing bars.
These were the pairs of cuts From the Emblaser 1 for the frames and glazing bars for the large sash windows on the first building, using thin card about 0/2mm thick. It's just about noticeable that the left hand ones have very fine glazing bars (0.2mm) and the right hand ones have thicker bars (0.4mm)
The window being modelled is this, on the right - taken from Google Street View
I wonder if the top part ever moved. It would have been a very heavy frame to manoeuvre and maybe it was fixed , or maybe became fixed by years of paint as many sash windows became.
A frame was constructed from bits of Plastikard to be a nice fit on the card parts. Glue was applied round the frame of the second part and the two were mated in the frame.
The resulting glued frame. The glazing bars are not glued. Putting anything liquid on them immediately rendered them soft and pliable and they bent out of shape. I spent a fair bit of time trying to get round this problem, even trying very thin cyanoacrylate glue in the hope that it would wick between the bars an set quickly before the card started distorting, but no luck.
I also found these
....small plastic bottles with stainless steel spouts to dispense the glue after messing around with your average glue bottle and its spout and cocktail sticks. They work extremely well and I haven't had a blocked nozzle so far. And if they did block, a small drill or bit of wire down the nozzle should clean it out. I got them form Amazon

The Aliphatic 20% was an experiment with dilute glue on the glazing bars which didn't work.
The two frames ready for further treatment which actually worked....
...a hefty scoosh of Halford's primer and the glazing bars are bonded together with no distorting.
When dry, the frames are cut from their surrounds and I give them a press under a weight to get them flat.
