I've been doing a good bit of research into Gothic and Romanesque architecture and cathedrals, and have seen some absolutely amazing pics of stained glass, which is why I'm asking.

I'd love to do a Space Wolves motif for a scenery piece, so that would be the motivation behind the glass and the architecture. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1919824.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1919824.page GMT
I've seen a couple and they look sweet. Couldn't tell you where to look, sorry, but it was when I was just randomly searching model cathederals and the like.

I reckon if you just used waterered down shades on a thin piece of clear plastic that would work okay.

Alternatively, there were those things that were like an outline of a design made in metal that you could sprinkle coloured sand into the sections and then bake and they made a nice little stained glass piece.

Maybe find some of those, make your own templete out of wire and see what happens!

Sorry, I have no idea what they are actually called though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1919845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1919845.page GMT
I would do a test piece using acrylic ink mixed with clear varnish. If that does not come out transparent enough, then you could try shellack ink.

Your problem will be to keep the runny inks within the pattern. It may help to paint the pattern with dark grey regular paint to create boundaries.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920243.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920243.page GMT GW Glasgow. I think they took some clear plastic and washed it with different colours. I'll post again tomorrow once I've asked them for a tutorial for me to type in ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920298.page GMT
Hats off to Mediaeval stained glass.
good call mate!

KK has a good point
the problem will be pooling and running.
There are hobby sets of acrylic "stained glass" paints that are gloopy and don't run.

wonder of inks/paints + PVA would work?

If the clear sheet is thick enough it might be possble to scribe the lines so that the paint would trap within the design. The lead could be drawn on afterwards.

You will need a light inside the building to get best effect! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920319.page GMT
Nowadays most of us have access to a laser print (be it at home or work) so... that shouldn't be to hard to do.

In worst case scenario, you could always go to a printing place and take your pen drive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920348.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1020/233422.page

I also wanted to ask you all if you had any ideas for what a Space Wolves difference in Gothic Architecture might involve?

I"m thinking along the lines of doing a basic basilica building, possibly with a removable roof, possibly blown out a bit, I haven't decided.

I know from the old arse Rogue Trader I have, there's a layout drawing of a Space Wolves underground base, but I'll be damned if it's not plain as all get out.

Personally I would be looking to traditional Scandinavian architecture, but that would probably mean not a lot of stained glass. Fenris winters might not be ideal.

I'd like to keep it true to form as much as possible, but damn if i'm not in love with the idea of doing something stained glass ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920885.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920885.page GMT imho and a nice idea. Still think you could back light it as well to make the most of the effect! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920902.page GMT


Which would be quite awesome with some wolf imagery instead of the dragon/deer image that's in that now. Possibly in some paneling format on the outside walls.

I'm going to have to start doing some sketches here soon. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316462/1920912.page GMT TBH was thinking of that door as well as Romanesque sculpture, but thought it could get quite tricksy to scale down
