The
flat web part of the window was machined in about an hour and
a half out of 1/2" polycarbonate.
Then the 45 degree windows were modeled in sections of three
openings. Only one of these sections was machined in about 6
hours. Then this piece was finished out by hand and cast in a
double sided silicone mold, which took another 2 days. After
which I cast 8 sections to complete the 24 window openings. The
ceter piece acts as a jig to which I taped the cast pieces to
measure the shrink rate so I could shim in between the parts.
