future windows

How time-honored it is, I don't know, but I've used this technique a few times. However, I prefer to lay clear decal film over tiny window openings at the decaling stage, then Future the whole thing. With care, you can liquid-mask these if you're going to use dull-cote, and then remove the mask material to leave gloss windows.

You can make windows out of Elmers (aliphatic glue,) Future, Micro Kristal Kleer, and probably lots more. The trick is using a LARGE enough brush. You can even do large windows if you get a round pointed brush, get it wet with your material, rub it around the edges (wise crack filter=on) and pull it out slowly. hth

The Keeper (of too much crap)

don't like elmers winders.

Agreed ! All of them have curved surface and are thicker around the edges. They just don't look right !

Now Real glass microscope slide cover glass - that looks real ! But a real pain to deal with.

The trick is to thin the edges of the windows from the inside before using any type of liquid to form the 'glass' panes.

and how do you cut them?

Very Carefully!

big help, wizze guy.

Thanks Al - answers a question I didn't know I had! See, this ng is useful after all.
