hellonwheelz3 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Okay, so im building a 1/25th scale boss 429 3'n'1. Im doing it street style. I was working on it earlier this evening and accidentally cracked the windshield. I dont want to place this windshield cuz it would look bad. Question is, should i buy a new windshield for it or make a window net? the window net would work cuz im doing it racecar style. I also would need to know how to scratchbuild a window net. Thanks for the enormous amounts of help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 you could try making a new windsheild by placing a piec of tape to the outside of the windsheild trace around the opening then remove the tape carefully and place onto a piece of clear plastic then cut out slightly larger than the line you traced.making a dirt screen type would be the same technique however you would have to find some suitable mesh material that looks good to you. you can find mesh material in a variety of places such as michael's craft store or hardware store sometimes you find it in the weirdest places . hope this helps good luck.

That would pass for lexan window look for race cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 For a window net, MCG makes a template with everything you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
