After discussions between myself and Tom we opted to make the glazing panes from Acrylic. This offered the rigidity that we required instead of other less favourable materials. Although we did opt to use 2mm thick acrylic, if we were to make the glazing closer to the scale size then it would habe to have been much thinner. In light of this we decided that 2mm thich would be fine and not overdominate the rest of the model. I cut them using the circular saw. As the edges where the glazing meets would touch, paul suggested put some 1mm diameter acrylic rod in the joints to hide any dviations, This worked really well but was very difficult to attach to the model with just my fingers. This was proven by the dichloromethane liquid whe it doesnt touch the house.

For the glazing pressure caps we have decided to use the CNC machine due to their complexity based on their size. Tom has drawn the Rhino drawing and left me to manufacture them on the CNC machine as he has decided that a film students project is more important than our own! VERY FRUSTRATING!!! I have decided to manufacture the caps from ABS Plastic as the machining qualities are very good. After 2 days writing the programs for the cnc machine, we have opted not to take it further forward due to their size and the amount of finishing required. Instead I chose to laser cut them from 1mm thick acrlic and stick the square and cross together.
