#44 Two ways to scratch build windows

hello and welcome to Timberline printing and jumble a model railway today we're going to have a look at how we can make windows for your models there are lots of ways you can do this no way is particularly right and we're going to do two ways today and see what they would like [Laughter] [Applause] Oh [Laughter] I start the process by using my art package draw plus and all I do is I create tangles of certain sizes I'm using the scale of four millimeters per foot and basing this honor on an 8 foot wide window four foot deep so that's 32 millimeters wide and 16 millimeters deep for the for the purposes of drawing it be these I'm doing in a larger scale to begin with but is the same proportions and I was doing two versions one but you just is a simple drawing and i'm gwon which is what I call print and cut used with the Cricut machine where prints the object and then cuts it out and I'll go into showing you that later in the video as you can see at the moment I'm just moving all the bits and pieces where I want them and then I'll export that as a picture the next next one will be why I've called withered it's a very simple method of the printing cut where it's just how did a bit of texture to the drawing itself nothing in particular nothing fancy just a simple shading of the wind of rhymes my selves by all means this is not an extensive design it's a very simple design it's showing you the concept of using the two methods that I'm going to show you today as you can see I've added a little bit a shading effect to the frame and I'm putting the glass bits in the frame just to make you look and what I'll do is I just cheap declare that one drawing again I'll fire up my cooking software and start a new project I have to upload that here each that I want to use and in this case is going to be the plain white window frame I cut out the white parts that need to be cut out on the paper itself using this method and then I save it as I could once that's there I can select the object I want to insert into the document comes in well you notice here is that I missed I think although I agree into metric I missed like media by 32 centimeters by 16 centimeters as opposed to admitting meters simply enough to change once he's all done just just change the sizes regarding I need to be and notice here I'm changing him to white technically has this has no effect on on how it works he just basically if you've got lots of objects on a on a design and you want some different color vinyls for instance then he would set them on two different colored Maps regarding your color so he's got red green and blue designs you have um one different colored Maps just to keep it so simple using this white color for the designs just makes it simple for me to show you what they are okay so we're going to prepare a mat let's do that we're going to use a vinyl that we cooked using picking machine we need a couple of centimetres of final do that for now then this is the mat how we use it stops it just getting to eat and this is that the vinyl we use it it's just the vinyl side of paper back in sticks to the cutting mat and that's what we need so we've got our material ready the vinyl is on the mat it is ready to cut so make sure everything's ready and then we just press Continue and then comes up with the materials we need to use in the favourites is only a couple there so I'll click on all different materials and slick the vinyl [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] so this is the tedious part picking out all these little bits this part is called reading and small that designed time consuming it is now this is just a simple design for the window designs can be as intricate as you want them to be really in simples is key which is good if you wear so there we have four sets of windows right the next job you need to do mister transfers and for that we use transfer paper basically is just a sticky paper and that sticks to the vinyl and that will be for the vinyl off the curb that paper back in at this point we've finished with an original Matt asked you Matt just get into it alright there's our model railway person come on bus lots of these and these are the packing pieces for picot points what I do is I give pretty damn decent way of making scratch-build windows it's off and you put some out of the saris you can't see that's that's too small actually good morning just to demonstrate this is do it so we've got a window material won't be to peel this off like so it takes you off the backing and then you have windows start at one end work our way across a little scraping tool then we take off the transfer paper just making sure let me show you now in the final cut the vinyl he's now stuck to the thick plastic case iam picot points between a use for our windows and stars [Music] and there we have two windows and you can fit them either way and you can cut them so they just fit over the hole in the building like so and that is scaled in oo to an 8 foot wide by a four foot deep you know so we come back to the second start of when you love you Mike in which is about it one and I'll cut it out after loudly meeting the side as a printing cut rather than just a normal cut sized and the play around a bit until I get he have a wanting on the screen and I'm on look on the mat and then all of a sudden he's ready to print out and then I have to like to print I to to print which piece of pipe I wanna print as you can see since the printer I'm just going to print that image so back to eat Matt consumer and this is what's printed out they're all news we'll explain the different parts of the image the dark black border is registration mark which the cutter will look at to see exactly where this image is sat on the paper so it knows where to cut you'll notice that this is a bolder looking picture than what it did do on the screen and the reason for that is that we had an effect called bleed if you can imagine you've got your blade cutting out certain parts you don't want the blade to cross an area where it hasn't been printed so you act who had bleed and what will that do is enables your blade to make sure it's always cutting through part of it an image that has been printed rather than right on the edge and you can see that the color then the white paper underneath in the color than the white paper so you had the bleed they just make sure the cut is right up against the printed part of the paper so the next step is to go into the machine so back with the machine off waiting to load in first thing you'll see we'll come on free to test so the next step is for us to get rid of their pipe will be down made on here normally what you do is that you bends the mat rather than being the paper the paper down pulling off nose is not needed at all he goes back to reading them two ways of doing this and only to hoping to lift yeah you this is where I'm supposed to be showing you how of laminated the windows in a small a five-page but as it happens I'd press the button on the camera to start filming and actually I pressed it to stop filming and I wanted to stop it actually started filming so on so forth so well I've got he's a lot of footage in between the footage I really wanted so that's my mistake you can just about see there on the cutting mat the page which is going to be laminated this is where I'm cutting out the card base for the muck house wall you can see I got no intentions of filming this actual part he's still in the mistake mode of pressing the button on the camera to film and I didn't want to feel he stopped when I wanted to film one she told now you're not checking on what you're doing keep an eye on things the mistake just keeps on going and going and going so I'm actually making it there and we'll just watch it for a while and see if I get to the part where I'm actually sticking the brick surface onto it it's actual print that I've done myself onto a printable vinyl on my large format printer and it is just a big texture I've used it was for my retaining wall well the answer is no do you see the piece of texture that I've caught a to ready to stick on you can't actually see mistaking the time you don't actually see me sticking the windows on neither you can see the finished effect at the end of it so I always have to go to that but just quickly I'll explain the pieces of window now stuck to the vine that the acetate which are the covers for the Pico mouth point notice their points and the the laminated pieces they are just glued with hockey card glue to the back of the well there we have the finished object with new windows you have the weathered ones will have to patent ones in the bottom and the line will call ones at the top to show you the back I didn't manage to do this very well because her next video machine as you can see on the top to the vinyl ones they just glued directly to the cloud just the same as the bottom ones are just the same as it would do in same it craft kit what you can do in area for wanted to I could just cut cut away this final here over the doorway and fitted or just the same as I do with it next half keys it's a fairly simple exercise and well probably would do if I was build this myself I've got some more card and 15 just like a windowsill and I could have like you're heading stands at the top not all walls do have hitting stands at the top of italy's but as you can see he's got a fairly reasonable effect I'm sorry I messed up the recording towards the end that I think I got the point across and I hope you found it helpful and thank you for watching see you next time bye [Music] [Music] you [Music]
