Awesome! Hey I use $1.25 phone screen protector from dollar tree. I size it up and draw it out on glass, then wrap it in cloth and use a hammer or something to hit the glass, there is a very thin clear film on the screen protector that keeps it held together. Then use scissors to cut out. This works great and I've done it many times
The shattered safety glass is a great touch and showing us how to make it is much appreciated BG. Also the damaged laminated windshield is also a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing all these tips.
Wow! Thank you. This is so cool! I never would have thought to use this method. I'm looking to recreate a bullet hole that caused a crack across the entire windshield. I think, based on what you've shown here, I'll be able to accomplish that.
Hi Jeremiah, awesome! I'm so glad you found this tutorial helpful and will help you create the look you're going for! Good luck with the build my friend!
@@BGsModelWorkshop Thank you! It's been quite a long time since I've built a model, and I've never done a diorama. Thanks again for the great tutorial!
Since you ended up with a hole through the windscreen, you need to put a few streaks of algal growth on the inside, and a puddle of water on the dashboard. Looks great so far. We had plenty of Mini's in New Zealand in the olden days, but most of them have rusted away by now. When you see a nice one driving around, it is such a great sight. It's hard to believe those of us in the British colonies survived driving around in such tiny cars. The original Mini would fit inside the new Mini's with space to spare.
Good point! Since I live in Arizona, I went with a desert theme. I did add a touch of moss to the window frames. That seemed like it grew there no matter where these cars are. ☺️ My sister had one of the BMW Mini's. It seemed small at first. Then at a car show we saw a proper mini and were blown away by just how small they really are. And I agree, we could have put one in her car easily! Thanks for watching!
outstanding tutorial have to say that's a really cool idea will have to go check the site out but think you did a great job of showing how to do this thanks for the tip enjoyed and the car is looking really good .So for such a good job telling us how to do this 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Pretty cool tips. I do wonder what you had previously in that medicine bottle. I couldn't tell since it was struck out. 😉😉 Thanks for sharing, and I'm off to watch SCMs video and probably give him some TH-cam love.
Really great tips there BG! I should’ve done the cracked window on my Gran Torino. 🤔 The seed is planted for the next weathered, crusty pile I do. The Mini is looking REALLY good! 😎👍🏾
Really interesting how you made this broken glass. Interestingly I worked in a pub that had some short run of pint glasses made of safety glass to stop "smash & stab"... think they just do plastic now lol
Minis, like all English cars, are notorious for rusting. Something about the carbon content of the steel IIRC. you can probably find that fine white sand at a model railroad supply. For laminated safety glass you could laminate microscope slide cover slips using double sided clear tape.
You might want to try white sillica sand which is used in plaster to add texture to plaster for skim coating certain areas sometimes you can find it at the depot in a plastic tub
@@BGsModelWorkshop tip using aluminum from soda or beer can heated you can bend or shape to create panel damage once you glue in place use your putty of choice like bondo to blend in with plastic area!🤔 Jman

Now that's cool! Thanks for sharing! Maybe my next abandoned car will get the phone protector treatment! 😁
Man Bryan that looks perfect. I worked in a glass shop for 12 years and that is a perfect break for a windshield. Ron
Hi Ron! Oh man that made my day!! So glad to know I got it that close!! 😁😁
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. It looks very real.

LOL! Right!! Through those bricks!! 🤣 Seriously though, thank you Chris!
Great tutorial. This is an excellent tip. Anything to make models more realistic is always appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Michael! Very welcome!! And I fully agree! Less toy, more realistic!!
Awesome tutorial Bryan! It's really cool and could even be used for an abandoned military vehicle....great idea.

Very true, my dad had 3 Spitfires and an MG and we chased rust on all of them! Cool idea there.
surry to hear dat great vid thanks stay safe scooter d😬
Thanks Scooter!

Great idea!!
thats a really cool effect.i recently made a video on fixing glass and you just made one on breaking glass...lol..🤣
Hahaha!! Perfect!! We have the market cornered on glass!!
Nice tutorial i need to get a belt hole puncher.
Thanks David! I think it would be a very helpful tool! Making holes or little disks for all sorts of things!
Glad to see real world wear & tear at model shows all non military vehicles are pristine you never see dents, oxidation!🤔
Jman
Agreed, very rare to see weathered beauties. They don't often get recognition by judges too. Which sucks, because weathered builds are my jam! 😁
@@BGsModelWorkshop tip using aluminum from soda or beer can heated you can bend or shape to create panel damage once you glue in place use your putty of choice like bondo to blend in with plastic area!🤔

Nice!!!
I subbed the southern modeler 👍
Awesome!! Thanks for that Jeff. Have you done a shout out video for him?
Try blue food color.
Almost as thick as my glasses🤓 lol nice😂
