I agree...Great job in taking on a challenge of your own cockpit design and GREAT job on your canopy!
I have to ask...are you using ... Matt Finish Photo Paper? it looks like it in the texture in a couple of your pix... will wait for reply to finish response...
Nice canopy glass!!
NO. Actually, it's just 200 g card stock printed by a laserjet printer. I think that it's just the way the flash on the camera reflects on the paper that might give that impression.
BTW I have to thank you for the print out on the Vorchan wing. I still have to compare the scale with Jaybat's design of the Omega destroyer. Everything on the Vorchan model depends off the wing. More work to do. Fun stuff.

I think an Anime series based on this would "take off"!! Great job!!
nice job.........
Next time you make a cockpit using one piece of plastic, cut like that, use very thin paper. You will see how much better it will look. I only use thicker paper if they are actually acting as the framework of the cockpit. You then glue the backside of the cockpit with paper (appropriately), and it gives the cockpit a very realistic look.
You are doing a GREAT JOB!
Here is a tutorial on functioning cockpit canopies that I did back in March 2012 that you might find both interesting and helpful.
Thank you for the complement. Although, there is still more that I need to learn. I am wanting to attempt to make form canopies (like the ones used on the Viper MK-VII or F-16).Rhaven,
It's no surprise to me that you know a thing or two about canopies ... especially with your previous work on the Thunderfighter! Thanks for sharing your link on this.
