Repairing existing Victorian Cornice with undercut in Greetwell Rd, Lincoln

In Lincoln, i’ve been tasked to repair cornice in their kitchen where the stud partition wall has been taken down thus restoring back to its original room. See picture below 

Affected area

so I have taken the template of existing and produced reverse mould with loose piece due to undercut in “cove” member. I would opt for run cast however I need to make several more casts for the new extension. 

1st cast of cornice

Removed whole length of existing cornice due to its brittleness.

Fitted new and made good.

End results
