This is a precious model of a friend. It was unfortunately dropped on the floor by a visitor's child. Since the clear part was broken, it had to be renewed.

The
model initially.

Initial
condition from the other side.
 |
|
I disassembled the model and used the cracked windshield inside surface as a master model for the mold. I made a male mold with automotive epoxy putty. 
|
|
I held a piece of acetate sheet between two frames and after heating the acetate with a heat gun, I pressed the male mold into the acetate to give a form. 
|
|
I
cut out the necessary part from the acetate.
|
|
I glued the acetate and the frame with epoxy glue.  |
|
The
joined acetate and frame.
|
|
I
cut the sun visor and mirror section from the original part and glued
on the new one.
 |
|
I reassembled the
model.
