So use a drill?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548138.page GMT Bullet holes in canopy on warhammer 40k flyers...stormtalon http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548157.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548157.page GMT Bullet holes in canopy on warhammer 40k flyers...stormtalon
A "serviceable" canopy that is not punctured would not get replaced. Full holes when showing your army would just look odd and you would have to figure out why there is not a red smear in the cockpit (if a marine, add a dent in his armor?).

My thoughts...

I would take a look at some real canopy battle damage. You will notice there is a difference between regular glass damage and bullet proof glass damage. But here is a picture of bullet proof glass damage.


Looks awesome, yeah that's the look I was going for!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548862.page GMT Bullet holes in canopy on warhammer 40k flyers...stormtalon
If you're lucky, you'll get the plastic to crack naturally while you drill the impact point.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548967.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548967.page GMT Bullet holes in canopy on warhammer 40k flyers...stormtalon
Bulletproof glass is like the windshield but many more layers. It is normal "untempered" glass with vinyl melted in between.

The theory is the same as a folded blade: layers of hard material (initial resistance) and layers of soft (drag/ shock obsorbtion). With enough layers worst case failure would be the glass deforming/bending/breaking but a hole will not be made.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5548989.page GMT Bullet holes in canopy on warhammer 40k flyers...stormtalon



gotta zoom in on pic to see, and its still not great quality but should hopefully see the hobby knife may not provide the result you want as opposed to white paint (i found out the hard way after painting rest of damn jet >.> )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5549018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5549018.page GMT Re:Bullet holes in canopy on warhammer 40k flyers...stormtalon

I was under the impression folded steel blades were for the purpose of removing impurities, creating a homogeneous material or in more modern times, artistic reasons.

But anyway, yeah, I'd just use a drill bit in a pin vice and do it by hand then cut it up afterwards with a knife to create finer details and damage. Using a power drill would be a great way to destroy things.

I actually kind of like the idea of through holes. It makes little sense to us in this day and age, but I could totally picture a Space Marine flyer getting hit in the canopy and either not hitting the pilot or bouncing off the armour and not having time to repair it before the next battle, or an Ork simply not caring that there's a gaping hole in his canopy, or an Imperial Navy pilot getting shot, getting the plane home, then the ground crew cleaning up the cockpit and someone new jumping in for the next mission.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5550423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5550423.page GMT Bullet holes in canopy on warhammer 40k flyers...stormtalon http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5550912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/523352/5550912.page GMT
