Came across this tonight while watching videos on YouTube...and why sniffing glue is a bad idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9wtVXtxaVc&feature=related

Started a thread like this on another modeling site. It proved very popular with many users posting. Enjoy! http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14416

Visit this link and scroll down a little more than half way and you'll see where the modeler explains how to achieve the effect. Bear in mind that the model depicted is 1/35 scale. As for the VW itself, read the whole thread. I don't think he describes the VW build but you never know. http://www.migproductionsforums.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4826&start=60 Here it is if you can't get the link to work: STEP ONE: White glue on thin plastic (the kind you wrap around food) STEP TWO: Spread it out to a thin layer STEP THREE: Sprinkle on Deluxe materials 'Icy Sparkles' STEP FOUR: Let it dry and peel it off the plastic. STEP FIVE: Cut to size and glue it onto the vehicle. STEP SIX: Enjoy! To simulate broken glass on the ground simply sprinkle on the Icy Sparkles to the ground and secure it with Mig Pigment fixer.

Hello everyone, good to be here. Let me take a second to introduce myself. My name is David and I'm new to scale auto modeling, having only built one auto kit about 15 years ago. I'm currently 'collecting' scale auto kits to someday build (much to my wife's angst) but hope to start building in the fall? Anyway, I've spent most of my modeling 'career' building 1/35 armor and 1/48 aircraft and it's from the 1/35 arena that I ran across this tutorial for broken glass. I think this modeler really nailed the effect. Not sure if it will work for a gunshot shatter but for battered windows in say, a junkyard setting or crash scene, it looks like it would work well. http://www.migproductionsforums.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4826&start=60 I hope that my first post was of some help to someone. Happy modeling, David
