Does anyone know how apply a colored tint to Eldar vehicle windows? I'm finally getting to my storm cloud attack set and I have already painted the raised frame on the cockpit canopy but I want to add a cool green tint to the canopy. Ive seen some examples out there. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758525/10018662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758525/10018662.page GMT How to tint or paint Eldar vehicle Windows? Best use of their product is the rattlecans in a very, very, very, very light layer.



or you can use gold or copper Alclad in a very, very light layer for a more shiney sci/fi look.

The relatively new citadel gemstone effects seem to work in a similar way but less intense, so they might be perfect for what you need.


This is what I tried, I'm not sure I', entirely happy with the effect though.

I painted the inside of the canopy in Waystone Green, it took a few coats to get it thick enough and smooth enough.
Then painted over that with Stormhost Silver to give it a mirrored look.

I will try and take a photo later.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758525/10018790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758525/10018790.page GMT Re:How to tint or paint Eldar vehicle Windows? GW plastic canopy or cockpit which looked anything like glass or perspex...they just look like thick plastic. When it doubt, remove the see-through nature of the plastic.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758525/10018853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758525/10018853.page GMT Re:How to tint or paint Eldar vehicle Windows?
If you want to see how it turned out here is my fire prism. I used it on both cockpits and the prism crystal. Apply it fairly liberally on the reverse of the canopy and let it run down the cockpit, avoid brushing as it will leave streaks, just hold it with a pair of tweezers / pliers and move the paint around until it sets.
