how to make clear canopy?

**spencermitchellmusic** · #1 02-22-2009, 10:21 PM

I am still fairly new to the paper modeling world, but I absolutely love it. I am also fortunate enough to have a job where I am able to spend most of my day working on models (I am blessed). So now I am to the point where I am past learning the basics and want to get more detail oriented. I hate how a printed canopy can completely ruin the look of an otherwise very detailed model. Can someone make a tutorial on how to make clear canopys? I would love to learn this technique to make my models start looking nice. Thanks.

thank you all for your help. I will think about all of you while I am working on my models "on the clock" (ha, ha).
