Description
Sometimes I use transparant parts on my paper models, like on windshields and such, and this time on the visor for Lara's Extreme Depth Suit from her Chronicles adventure.
The trouble is, that you can see through transparant parts...
One one hand that's great of course (that's why you would use them), but it means they will also show the glueing tabs...
On this particular part though, I think you can get away with cutting off the glueing tabs that would show (the two in the center).
Because there are not a lot of unconnected edges (just two basically if you do it the way I did), and because you can shape the stiff transparant sheet by scoring it and making nice, sharp folds, and then "lock" the shape by glueing the other glueing tabs all around the edge to the rest of the helmet, the visor still keeps its shape despite not actually being glued together in the middle.
I don't think it will work on many parts, but in this case, it worked perfectly for me!
