Further construction of the Window

Session 2...

Covered in MDF 

Covered in polystyrene

After securing the MDF we then had a base to stick the polystyrene too, for this we used an adhesive called copydex. The polystyrene allows us to build up onto. Because the brick is extremely textured we found that we needed to glue further bits of polystyrene onto the base to create a rough appearance. 

Using a file, sand paper and rasps we carved into the polystyrene to create the groves between the bricks.

Almost finished in the construction of the window, just adding the features to the brick wall. In hindsight, we would have liked to make the bricks more pronounced and more accurate to the real thing.
