I am building a titan, and I don't really feel like modeling an interior. Also, I hate glueing transparent plastic. With that in mind I would like to paint the window into the cockpit of my titan, but how do you paint glass so that it looks like glass?

My best thought is a pale, light blue with a little silver in it. Anyone else have any ideas? I know that there mush be some eldar players out there with this experience.

Treat it rather like you would a gemstone. Often I paint the window black, then overcoat with dark blue. A small square or rectangle of light blue in one upper corner, with a line of pure white along the very top, looks pretty good. I think there was an article in GW website's Black Gobbo, but I can't find it.
