Step 7Adding detail
The wood sandwich is the basis of the windowed section of the gun. The wood is skinned with a thin plastic cut from an old A3 art folder (the folded black type with a handle and clasp). The plastic is easy to cut with a knife and is stiff enough to hold shape.
A rectangle of plastic long enough to cover the top curve and half as wide is cut out. 9 slits are cut so the plastic can fold alternately between stright and L-shaped to form the windows. Scoring the back of the plastic helps it crease nicely. Another strip of foam was glued to the barrel underneath the plastic to give the depth. All the folds are hot glued down so they stay put.
