It just hit me!!! What about taking pills and breaking them apart? They wouldn't be fish bowl like, but they would work!









Yes I think that would work. You just need to find a clear capsule, cut it apart, empty it, and bingo!

I haven't tried it but perhaps you could get the glass bit off, may be a bit of a trial to find the correct shape though]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2611322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2611322.page GMT 1950's fishbowl helmets.

Cutting glass, especially glass that thin, is going to be an exercise in frustration IMO (even for a skilled modeler).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2611386.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2611386.page GMT 1950's fishbowl helmets.

See here. I'd email him to see if you can get the domes seperate.

Perhaps look through your local arts and crafts store...perhaps they may have some hollow clear beads that might work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2612439.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2612439.page GMT 1950's fishbowl helmets. Need help. AT-43 gorlilla guys and they would work, but I think buying one for every model in my army will cause my wallet to hang itself from the rafters.
@Grimtuff: That guy's figures are pretty rad and will work. I'll have to see if I can secure the helmets.
I like the clear resin idea too. How about that water effects stuff that dries crystal clear? Does anyone know how solid it dries?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2612777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2612777.page GMT 1950's fishbowl helmets.

You might try doing a mold with that, then inserting the head, and pouring clear resin into the mold. You might need to attach the head to something (like a pin sideways) to position correctly in the depression. I'm thinking it would work like freezing fruit in ice cube trays.

That molding material doesn't bond to green stuff, but I don't know how it will interact with clear resin or water effects.

Depending on the size, you might look at a lab supply company for test tubes or other small glass containers and remove the ends using a glass cutter.

Finally, many pills come in a container made of clear plastic blisters, one for each pill, sealed with foil and paper on one side. You might be able to find a pill of the right size and use those plastic blisters. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2614256.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2614256.page GMT 1950's fishbowl helmets.

If you check your local Michael's or Hobby Lobby, you can buy a quart jug of clear acrylic for about $25.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2615434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356876/2615434.page GMT
