Is there a write up on filling window holes with resin? I tryed a few windows with resin. I masked the little windows then painted with air brush and removed the masking tape. The tape took paint with it. The windows are tiny. like the windows on the enterprise D AMT model.
i need a write up.

You can also use PVA white glue, like Elmers. It sounds like it wouldn't be permanent, but at that scale, the glue has a remarkable amount of strength. Plus it dries translucent.
The way you use it is to smear some over the windows you're trying to fill, wipe the excess away gently with a wet rag, then go around the edges with a smaller wet rag to clear it of any remaining glue.

If a redhead works at a bakery, does that make him a gingerbread man?

Its essentially the same thing, but there is also Micro Krystal Kleer. If you feel better about paying top dollar for something that is sold in the LHS, but is claimed to be specifically for modeling. Hmm... this sounds harsher than it should. Admittedly, I own a bottle of the stuff, because after some ridiculous number of hours invested in a scratchbuild, painting, and applying decals to it, I was taking NO chances.MillenniumFalsehood wrote:You can also use PVA white glue, like Elmers.
