Windows

[Wilkins]

I'm currently painting some Peter Pig Marines and am having issues with the windows on the Humvees. I am hoping that someone can provide me with some nice examples of painted windows or even a "How to" guide. I've found some examples online which look okay but thought I'd check on here before I commit! Thanks in advance

I try to follow this:

Paint window black
Paint window with VMC 49 Oxford Blue, try to leave the slimmest of black line as a frame of sorts
Paint an L with the point of the L in the left hand corner, always, using VMC 60 Intermediate Blue
Fill in the L, and don't be neat, with the Intermediate Blue
Take a off white and paint another L over the previous one.
Then add 2 dots in the right top corner. 1 big, 1 small.

I cant take credit for it, and to be honest, I dont even know where it came from.  I still struggle with windows too, but in my opinion, this makes a nice colored window.

Here are a couple pictures of a hummer I did with this technique




Good luck!

Thanks for the response man. I've re-undercoated my windows and will have a crack at your method this weekend. We'll see how it goes!
