Window Frames

Hi, I need to make a set of silver “metal” frames for the windows on a launch I’m building. I am stuck for ideas of how to achieve this. Some of the corners are rounded rather than angular. This would appear to make the crafting somewhat more difficult I fear. Suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Hi Ed,
    I cut part way through with a scalpel then bend it gently,then i break it out.

Thanks guys, trying to locate the laser print material, cheapest I can find to date is £30 all in. So still looking round. The plastic is not really going to cut it for this task as I prefer a genuine metal finish if possible. Not contacted SLEC as yet.
I’ll let you know where I go when I have decided. But I much appreciate your replies. Many thanks.

    Do you have any printer company's/shops near you, go and ask if they have any used litho plate, it comes in various thickness's but can be cut smoothly using a Stanley knife, and perfect for window frames.😊

    cheers Peter😐
