opening doors with side window?

[John Pol]

When you guys open your doors on your models like a 70 Nova kit . Do you guys make a channel for the side windows or what?

John, for a realistic appearance, you should make some kind of channel for the window. Even for models that there are no opening doors, one should make a channel as the "right up against the door" look of the door panel just doesn't look right to me.

I'd would do the same for the C pillar as well especially if it's a hardtop. A number of models I've seen while nice, suffer from the roofline pillars appearing too thin due to this lack of detail. In the May/June '14 issue of Model Cars, I did write an article on not just how to do roll up windows, but also how to add the window channel detail.

Hope this helps!
