Plastruct .010
× .250 and .010
× 0.187 styrene
strips. Varying
width of strips,
plus additional
trimming with cutters helps convey the illusion of
window shades in multiple positions.
20: To make the varying widths of shades, I simply
lay the strips inside the shell against the window
openings and then marked the areas to be trimmed
with a pencil. I make the mark approximately 1/16"
past the desired window opening so that the shade
will completely cover the length of the window

is applied,
sparingly,
between the
window posts
and on a few
spots above the
top window row.
22: The corridor
window has a handrail across it for passengers
to hold onto. I made the corridor handrail from
0.012 brass wire that was cut slightly longer than
the individual window opening. I used the same
adhesive to attach the handrail.
