Scratch building

[NW Modeling List]

I have built several towers over the years but none were N&W. Instead of trying to cut out the individual windows you might try measuring the entire window area and then make the separations with strips of styrene glued between the bottom and top wall sections. I use commercial castings if at all possible, but sometimes just have to do it the hard way.

I want to scratch build a switch tower like Hager or Tug etc. I can’t find windows of the right dimensions or design. I have also tried to cut holes for the windows and broke the narrow area between them. How have others overcome these barriers?
