Yep just gone back and looked at the windows and they are awesome. I don’t think I’ve seen glass effects painted better than this :clappy:

Would you mind giving us a tutorial on how you did them ?

Brigade do the Tolero which are basically Ewoks. Alternative Armies have a few ranges, dogmen, amphibians, orc types and greys. CMG Ral Partha have some as well but not really had a good look at them yet. The xoenomorphs from Alien or a good Tyranid/genestealer type alien are sadly lacking in 15mm.
Try QRF https://quickreactionforce.co.uk/produc ... i-figures/ or Khurasan http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/15 ... -creatures
The Khurasan ones are great.
Pendrakens 10mm Aliens look fine for 15mm too, i'll have to do a comparison photo!

I agree with all here though your painting is among the best I've seen in 15mm sci fi and the vehicles probably the best.

Its just the old GW technique:
paint the window black and let it dry
blutac the piece so the window is perfectly horizontal
wet the window thoroughly
dab a small spot of mid blue in the upper left quarter and leave to spread
feather out with a wet brush if necessary
put reflection lines in either the same quarter or the opposite one to taste.

Cheers Etranger, I didn't know QRF were still going, not had anything from them for decades.

That's clever.

Thanks for saving me the hassle :)
The Pendraken ones seem about the right size for 15mm to me. The others look too big.
