RE: windows, got any ideas?

Thanks,

That's a good idea. What kind of resin do you use?

I recently made some scale gauges for an instrument panel. The same techniques would work for that as well.

RE: ORCA

ORCAdoesn't stand for anything. It is the scientific name (genus) for killer whales

Killer whales kill sharks that is why the boat was named that.
