BATMANCover slips
Are these microscope slide covers? How do you cut them? (Updated my choice list to add your cover slips)

Cover slips.
Here you can see the difference between the thick plastic ones Walthers issues and a cover slip. I think real glass looks way better on the outside as well. I put a couple of broken panes in my round house by simply pushing on them, the effect is great.
Look at how thin the coverslip is.

Acetate for me.
Easy to use and looks good. Dont like thick acrylic material beacuse it requires more effort to fit and trim. Really don't like the glue in the muntins - I think it looks bad in the finished product.
Your mileage may vary,

Options:1. Thin clear acetate, cut and glued to windows.
2. Thick acryllic plastic, preformed and glued to windows.
3. Use glass glue and fill the between the muntins (the little bars that separate the glass into panes)
4. Extra thin real glass sheets (cover slips)I'm starting to lean more and more toward #1. I like doing interiors and thick glass just throws things off if you have a big interior view. Also if a part becomes damaged, I can just cut a new one from a sheet and not worry if there are spares on the sprue.
