Laser Scribed & Cut "Clear View" Glazing |
Laser Scribed & Cut Arched Glazing ---- These windows are cut from .030 acrylic( plex). The "Lead Came Lines" are laser scribed on the rear side of the window. Black water based paint, or ink, is then rubbed into the scribes. Then, a piece of stretched plastic sprue is used to apply Tamiya Clear acrylic Red and Green. After the red & green has been applied, an amber mix of Tamiya Clear Yellow & Orange is applied to represent the Cathedral Glass, as called out on the carbuilder's drawing, per Mr. Bosenberry's specifications. (The plastic sprue was used as there are no paint brushes commercially available that are small enough to be used in this application.) Then, a diluted wash of waterbased acrylic white paint is brushed on the rear of the window to represent the appearance of stained glass with "swirls" running through it. This is a LOT of work. I hope to be able to make these laser scribed & cut Arched Window Sets available commercially some day if the interest warrants. |
