Those look really good Don! My only concern is will the clear resin yellow over time? If you frost the domes with a matt finish clear coat will that prevent yellowing?

Thanks,

The domes are clear acrylic, not cast resin. They should not discolor any more than any other clear acrylic products. About the only thing better would be glass!

That sounds great! Thanks for the clarification Steve. I guess if I had read the original post more closely, I would have answered my own question. :wink:

The other plan with the clear domes is to Vacu-form them on my little Mattel Machine.
I have a bunch of prepunched Lexan sheets handy.

Well they came out nice an clear from over a buck of the front piece turned down on a lathe.
They are very thin also...a scale match to the 11 foot original. It takes extra effert, skills with some sharp and dangerous tools to cut to size then trim to fit.

I think Paragraphics little fan PE blades will fit better within.

Orange! Cool idea but these are clear acrylic. I do know of the technique of submerging and soaking clear parts in Ritz Clothing Dyes or something.
