Ready for burning

The next step is something I invented in university. I will burn the glass over a candle of similar low heat fire source and then Matt varnish the resulting ash. Ive done tests and it looks so much better that black paint. I do however have a 20% fail rate with this technique as heating the glass at one point to highly causes a shatter. (I must try and research a more reliable way) So in that spirit here may be the last picture of the first stage in one piece. =S

 The next layer is the aircraft wing. I've cut the pattern but this one needs painting before construction.  These pieces are rough first stages and will be painted and the metal treated to turn the lead black.

Not very good but its a steep learning curve.
