What about cutting the plastic from bubbles (or some other thin plastic) to make windows. Thats the basic idea I have at least.

i missed out on the online bogo event...but seeing these shots with the night raven...holy mother of all that is holy fucking holy...WOW that thing is awesome...even more awesome than i've said in the past...it's so fucking awesome it's criminal.
though i don't know where i'll put them, but i'm sure i can make room for a few (anyone want a couple of kids? they're moody ages 21 and 17, female...both gainfully employed...and in school...real "winners" must sell due to plastic addiction) |

I bought a couple of TRU online and had them shipped...with the buy one get one 50% it was a few bucks cheaper to than buying them full price to have them shipped to my house...I'll post pics later but the box was enormous...and the planes were single packed so two big ass boxes to deal with last night. I'd like to turn one into a AC-130...it already has the three gatling guns on it, just add one near the nose and the howitzer at the tail and slap on a coat of paint.
As for the canopy glass, I was thinking of using that clear epoxy that's used to make diorama water....put in a thing layer and allow it to cure...should work fine. Any sturdy clear plastic from other toy boxes, they can be cut to size and just glued/hot glued on. Im heading to the HD to get some flat black paint, light grey or dark grey, not sure which, but I have 3 AB-115 Shark Planes to customize until Irene hits here in NJ. |

I still have to put stickers on, but I'm custom making some so its gonna take a bit, but the painting is done. I moved the lights from the red guns, and put the on the interior wall so it flashes red under the computer panels. Kinda cool.

That is nice. And it does look better without the teeth stickers.

I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The handle and the teeth were the first to go. I left one of the posts for the handle there so you can open the wings without too much trouble and when I put the plastic windows in the canopy I added a makeshift antenna so that it's not too much trouble to get the windshield off to put the pilots in.

My 4 year old told me he still likes his green one better after I told him that I could paint his.
