I\'m not sure if they\'re available in the UK but you can get them here...SHRINKY DINKS

It\'s a heat shrinkable plastic that came out in the 70\'s. You paint on it, then heat it in an oven, it shrinks and you put it in your window as a decoration. Most examples I remember as a kid were of stained glass type decorations.

Just a thought.

Good Luck!

lol that\'s amazing, I remember them! Maybe they could make this 3d...we could paint them 3 times the size and shrink \'e, in the oven for a few mins - think of the detail! The site says they get 9 times thicker though, so before it was shrunk your space marine or whatever would be rather oddly shaped...

How did you do the stone struts within it?
:drool::drool:

I did a single separate piece in resin. The stained glass is sandwiched between the \'stone struts\'.

Here\'s the kind of detail you can get if you do the master big enough. With my old camera the tiny detail isn\'t too crisp but close enough to show what can be done.

that\'s phenomenal! I have my acetate sheets now, which is cool. I don\'t suppose you have the mould for the stone filagree in the rose window? I\'d pay hansomly for a cast! Anyway, I\'ll see what I can do now I\'m thoroughly inspired

Cheers & all the best,

James

Funny you should ask........ www.armorcast.com I won\'t guarantee it but they MIGHT be willing to sell you just the filigree. Can\'t hurt to ask.
