Hi Mates, l just received the stern galleries of Amati for my Victory Corel ship model.
And l want to ask how l will give a good and real looking to the windows as frames and glasses.
Any help will be appriciated.

Hi, This is what I did on my Mamoli 1:90. You may try similar with window glass and frames skipping the rest. I can suggest to look at my log here for details.

If you have a drawing of the windows in the right size with the details of the panes (I mean the little squares that would be the glass panes) you could see if a laser cutter could cut them into the thinnest plywood you can find and then lay them in behind the metal frame. Then use either clear plastic sheeting (or translucent depending on the look you prefer) and glue it behind the plywood to simulate glass. I did something similar for the Mantua Soleil Royal and it turned out well.

Well. If I understood correctly we need a laser cutter and cutting CNC program for this. Am I correct?
