realworkingsailor Posted March 31, 2014 #992 Posted March 31, 2014 I've used something similar in the past, but a different technique. One of these days I'll give yours a try, that gives a very nice antique glass effect (at least visible at scale). Andy augie 1 Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

It does add a really nice look to it. Well done and don't get distracted by outdoor work.

Landlubber Mike Posted March 31, 2014 #997 Posted March 31, 2014 Love the windows Augie. I'm going to try that on my next build. Another issue with acetate is that it can be a little tricky to apply the glue and not get glue marks on the window panes - your technique avoids that (and looks better to boot!).

riverboat Posted March 31, 2014 #998 Posted March 31, 2014 Augie nice job on the windows.... both the clear and antique looking glass look real good, I'm still trying to decide which look is best... right now I'm leaning a little more to the clear, maybe it's just because the latter would be hard to look thru..... but then again you have the model right in front of you, so you have a better look at it, which ever you choose I'm sure will look great !!

augie Posted March 31, 2014 Author #999 Posted March 31, 2014 The other thing you can try Frank is to use the acrylic but dye it very slightly to make its' presence more pronounced. I used to do this all the time with airplane canopies. Unfortunately, some of the newer acrylics will not take the dye so you need to experiment. I use the old 'Rit' product you probably remember. The brown or gray gives a nice tint. If you try that, make sure your acrylic is super clean, the water is not too hot and you constantly check the color to see what you're getting. mtaylor and riverboat 2 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956

augie Posted April 2, 2014 Author #1004 Posted April 2, 2014 The bulk of the heavy lifting on the stern and quarter galleries has been completed. Here are a few different angles: The photo etched garlands and metal castings were finished with Model Master 'Wood' color (never claimed to have much imagination) then given a coat of clear flat acrylic. We've already discussed the glazing. And now for the classic CONFEDERACY shot: Have a few things to add to complete the stern. Neptune (he's at about 11 o'clock) needs his Trident, the gun ports need hinges, eyebolts and lanyards and there's a little touching up to carry out (one or 2 stern lights needs 'caulking'). That will all wait until I get the rudder and it's fittings mounted. I have to fess up and admit I didn't think I'd get it to come out as well as it did. But thanks to Chuck's design and a little care with all the alignment going back to the stern framing I feel pretty good about the way she looks at this point. gjdale, fnkershner, egkb and 30 others 33 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956
