discussion Glazing model boats windows

[Guest]

Hi everyone.

Sometimes glazing windows in boats is a bit messy, so for what it's worth this is how I glaze my boat's windows:

Cut any shape of window on any color of copy paper 80gm or less, insert the shaps in a laminater pocket, and put it throught a laminater and you will have a perfect glazed window. try and see if you like it.

Basically you use paper for your window frame instead of wood or plastic. When it goes through the laminator it just needs to be cut out and glued into position on the model. It works a treat and makes a perfect glazed window or porthole. Once laminated the pocket becomes hard and transparent and clear as glass. Any thickness works well but I use 150 micron laminater pockets.
