Basic Model Window Scratchbuilding

Learning to scratch build model windows can expand possibilities for a model builder or hobbyist. You’re no longer limited by what’s available off the shelf. Scratch building windows is really not that difficult. Here’s a basic technique for double-hung window construction. Build a few and you can get pretty efficient at it. Of course this basic technique can be expanded and added to. You could add more prototypical details like a sloped sill and additional trim and stops. Or even use those stops to make windows openable if you like. Music tracks “Spanish Summer“ and “Medium Rock“ courtesy of . Used under a Creative Commons license granted by the artist.
