ajenery,
Sounds like it ought to work, so, why not? One of the 'nice' things about modeling is that you can use almost anything to 'do' almost anything. Just depends on what you have handy, how familiar you are with working with it, and how 'desperate' (or 'frugal'? LOL) you are!

PS - To show you 'frugal'... The grey plastic bags computer cards come in make great tinted 'windows'. Want a darker 'window'? Double the layers...
