With all your warhammer terrain, nothing is as realistic as broken windows and shards of glass to spruce up your not so special building. I’m kidding, everything we make is special… In this article, you’ll see examples of broken windows from different projects and learn tips and tricks on how to install them.

Materials List

-utility knife
-plastic packaging (the hard thin plastic from various products)
-PVA glue (white glue)

Step 1 Cut Plastic

I like to cut my shards on some sort of board or piece of wood. That way you won’t destroy the table you’re working on. Here’s a good example of the plastic you can use for windows:

It’s basically a matter of cutting and fitting pieces of plastic.

Step 2 Prepare walls

If you’ve used foam board as your walls, you need to prepare the walls for the windows. You do this by slicing in behind the surface of your exterior wall like so:

This also applies to any other material you’ve used as your walls.

Step 3 Insert windows

Simply place the windows inside the walls. It’s best to make the windows a little bigger than the walls. That way, the windows will use the walls as supports.

You may choose to glue the edges of the windows or not. I choose not to because it allows for flexible changes.

You can add bullet holes in your windows too. Do this by cutting out a small hole then slicing away from the hole like so:
