Title: minor stained glass project
Post by: Bill Gill on June 05, 2026, 06:13:01 AM
While collecting photos for a rolling stock project I noticed that many wooden railroad parlor cars had stained glass decorations on their windows. Not having a printer to make elaborate transparencies, I  used clear styrene for the window and dark green acetate for a simple diamond shaped detail.

Liquitex clear gloss acrylic varnish worked really well for gluing the diamonds to the inside of the windows.

A nice little detail and clever application. -- Russ
