Hello lads.....how do you simulate windscreen to look like this ??

Also, i dont have an airbrush. Is 3-tone camoflage pattern do-able with manual brushing ?

Thank you for the help !

The only way I know to dulpicate the dirty windshield effect is by spraying the dusty color. You must mask off the areas to be cleaned by the windshield wipers first.
Yes! you can absolutely do a 3-color camo with handbrushing. Many vehicles were painted in the field using brushes. If you want a softer edge between the colors you can drybrush the camo colors over the base color.

It maybe (and I stress maybe, as I've not tried it) possable to get the windscreen effect by using pastels. As I said, I've not tried it so I have no idea now durable it would be.

Once you`ve masked the wipers pathes you may be able to apply the paint with a tooth brush but you`ll have to "THROW" the paint somehow. Why not a quick pass with a spray can of light buff or even clear matt?

hmm....maybe using matt spray is the trick. I'll try that. Hopefully its right as i only have 1 screen !

Thanks guys

If you want to experiment first, try it out on a piece of clear plastic blister from some product packaging or a cd case. Look around, get creative. You can also use blister pack plastic to replace windows.

You can use pastels. You have to be very careful about them getting rubbed off the very slick surface. Maybe a zap of hairspray after applying the pastels over a mask.

you can make a new windshield out of clear overhead projector paper. More scale too
