Well, there are many different techniques. Mark the openings, drill the corners, cut and file the opening square. Build the bulkhead out of strips of styrene, leaving the windows open. Find something that already has openings close enough. Draw the windows on a computer and cut out with a craft cutter or laser cutter. Build the bulkhead out of Clear acetate and tape the windows before you paint. |
