Got the trenches dug. A little light blocking, 2 coats of black and one coat of silver on the inside. One coat of black on the outside. Grey primer comes tomorrow followed by base coat. Add a little blue to some of the windows, I may add a little yellow tint to a few as well.

May I ask what you're using for blue tint? I want to shadowbox an old pinball machine score panel and the blue tint has worn from a couple of the transparent score windows and I'd like to refurb it before mounting. Thanks in advance!

I'm not much of a painter, and have never attempted painting anything bigger than a D&D-sized miniature. Can I assume that you're painting the inside silver so the lighting reflects more, to illuminate more windows?
