Looking for windscreen advice

[jonwil]

I am attempting to replicate the windscreen on the bus in this picture

but I cant figure out what parts I could use to get both the angle of the main piece of glass and the little triangle pieces of glass (there is a matching one on the other side)

Any advice on what parts to use would be great. I am building in trans-clear and in 8-wide with probably 3 bricks high for the windscreen area give or take a plate or 2

These are all the windscreens on sale: http://www.bricklink.com/browseList.asp?itemType=P&catString=115

I think that I would go for this windscreen with some SNOT work, if it really needs to be angled.

Good luck with the windscreen, I hope that this helps!

It doesn't fit the angled part, but for that size I would say this one looks good: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=64453

Like Phazon and TheStrategist said, that windscreen would be best. Possibly mounted on some of of these hinges, for the angled appearance. You can use black electrical tape for the odd shape of the plastic around the window

I'd go with a 1x6x3 (or three 1x2x3 if need be) and then in the one stud space to both sides of the windshield you can snot in some 1x1 and 1x2 plates of whichever trans you use.

Funny to see a Renault bus in Autralia, I wasn't expecting that at all :D

Yes, we have a fairly large number of Renaults (both rigid and articulated) in Perth :)
