Work started on wheelhouse

Looks a bit floppy here but I'm lhoping to laminate the sides from 3 x 0.25mm card/clear/card. As the wheelhouse is quite open I wanted the frame visible on both sides. The added bonus being I can slip the glass after painting.

Thanks John,

Re damaged glass I borrowed the idea from @Andy Moore

https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235064589-oshkosh-m911-c-het/page/2/

 

Basic idea, after drilling a hole I scratched out the broken pieces using a needle held in a pin vice. To make it stand out further I used a brown wash. Think I'll dark green on the next
