Here are a few examples of windows I have built over the years using Mic Greenberg’s methods*. All are in O scale. When I first started, I used clear acetate. Then I switched to microscope cover glass, which I continue to use today. Some of these windows are over 20 years old, and are still holding up well!
While not everybody’s cup of tea, I really like the look and the ability to make any size window I want. If you want something different, try this method on your next foreground or contest model. If you do build or have already built some, please join me and share your efforts!

Beautifully done examples, Chuck. As I posted in another thread earlier today, I'm getting closer and closer to trying the glass slide covers. I've used acetate since the late 70's/early 80's, but as your photos clearly illustrate, nothing looks so much like glass as glass. Hmmmm.... isn't that a paraphrase of another old modeler's saying?

Here's a link to the announcment. If you check the first 6 or 7 pages of the New Product Announcements forum you will find similar announcements for Mic's other Tip Sheets and Project Sheets.

Chuck,
Those windows sure do stand up to the "closeup photo" test. Great craftsmanship as always.[:-thumbu] |

Chuck.
Thanks for the plug. Beautiful modeling. The barrel on the x-stand is out-standing.
Although I have never used acetate yours seems to be holding up OK. You have a certain courgage in your rendering that I find most compelling. Keep up your usual good stuff.

Chuck,
Beautiful windows, and scenes. Here is one of my efforts, as well as a couple of scratchbuilt doors.
Using slide Glass, painted with "Zinc White" Egg Tempra (in my defense, though the horizontal muntin is a bit crooked in real life...but the camera depth of field really threw everything a bit out of whack here...[:-bigeyes] )

Marc.
Great window and wonderful peeling paint on corrugated siding.
The door is very convincing as well. Doors and windows can be as much fun as coupler pockets and steam valves. Not to fret I still love the heavy mechanical elements of the past century.
