I've did some extensive searching already and I just can't find anything on achieving the cracked glass look on windshields. I have a dremel tool, do I draw the lines I want with a pencil and go over that whit a small drill bit. Or do I use smaller screw and lightly hit the plastic with a hammer. But the only problem I can think of doing it this way is the plastic will just snap in half since it won't crack like actual glass. Any tips will help thanks!!
I would suggest finding a good hobby knife that you're comfortable with - an exacto or a pen knife - and just scribing the scratches into the window. I suggest practicing the technique, first - try finding a clear, dispensible party glass and etching "cracks" into that.
Do you where to get "Spiderweb decals" I've never heard of them and until I get good enough with scribing them into clear plastic that will work. Also Chocolate Rain is the best song ever made(Love the avatar pic)!!
Put some glue or clear enamel on the area, then drag a pin through it before it dries. Works like a charm
First take your X-acto knife and carve an x in the middle of the window, adding other lines outwards like a starburst. Then connect between the lines but do it sparatically so they don't line up like a real spider-web. Then line-in the scratch marks with a color of your choice, usually a lighter color than the window itself.
Link for product: Try some Freeze It freezes the plastic then you apply some pressure with your finger on it. It will crack like a car window aka some spider web effect. lol
i used a hobby knife and a little pressure on my custom jazz similar to the directions of the master Jin saotome
Can you show us the results ? - I'm not saying you're wrong but I have some doubts as to the effectiveness of this technique, thanks. ........
Well, even though it's always cool to see your work again, I was referring to first researching car damage in junk yards, etc. via Google images, taking photos, etc.
Aww Bloody Ell !!! Thanks everyone I have got the X-acto knife technique down to a pat. BUT!! Becareful I cut my digit pretty good and trust me unless it's a decepticon fleeing a hit and run, human blood looks a no good on a Transformer. I will be posting pics soon... well after Xmas I might be getting a New camera!!!
