Help modelling advice needed
 
Hi chaps and chapesses

The problem is in 4mm

I'm building a 3 road engine shed to replace an earlier effort that I messed up
I'm doing one to a Midland design style so it has a pitched roof with the top half being Glazed

Walls OK -- brickwork no problem

Broken Glass - HOW????????????????


I will be using a polycarbonate film roughed up in areas to take thin paint to look dirty but How do I make convincing broken edges in the Roof light

I have got the walls and side windows in before I realised I needed some breakages as well as dirt - the dirts easy


Over to you lot and your expertese

These are pictures of the building process
the window and brick work are still pristine got to do the weathering once it's constructed so it is a little easier

forgot to add the black is the inside walls

HI TO YOU mADCAP, I suppose you could try a mapping pen to draw fine lines on the panes, or (now this is just a thought) how about two pieces of film with one having the "broken" design on it the other being the front or the piece nearest to the out side , Its just another of my stupid ideas .but????

You'll Note the window design there the "frame" is drawn on with such a Pen one that draws on Glass etc. no the problem if you think about it is the Era I model is the 1960's
Poor maintainence and no cleaning so if a window was complete it was black so a broken window would show clear when the internal lights are on (a few LED's so it appears some bulbs are out too) it's getting quite complicated too looks like I may be making a Frame work and NOT putting any roof lights in at all in places
:D getting too deep again
