Tinted Window Stormtalon

  I had seen a few tutorials online about how to tint those clear plastic windows that go in the cockpit of the Stormtalon.  After reading a few I decided to give it a go.  Basically the technique involves mixing floor polish with the wash of your choice and applying in thin coats to build up a partially see-through surface.

  I wanted to make mine extremely dark because if I can hide that cockpit, I don't have to do a ton of detail work on the paintjob inside it, and I won't have to buy a head for the pilot.


If you try to put too much on at once, it seems to pool up in the corners

After a few coats



It's a little dark, but like I said that was on purpose.  I have been kicking around the idea of putting a led in the cockpit and having it glow through the tinting.  I'm doing some more research on how cheaply I can do this.
