I'd like to see the model that uses the Naboo Fighter glass for a double deck
car.
I've used 1/4 curved "Paradisia" windows for an observation car match to my
7740.

I've tried a few designs for double deck commuter. Indeed, this one looks
Metroliner Club Car-ish, not to mention that it is Euro.

I've since tried a new window technic on an attempt at a double decker from The
Netherlands. I only have enough window elements to build one double decker in
this fashion. No pictures, yet, even though the model is several months old
(March/April?). The upper deck of windows are formed from two very different
window elements: 1) 4-wide trans light blue airplane front windscreens are
suspended above 2) 1x2x1 trans light blue thin-walls. One stud width of opaque
brick separate each 4-stud wide upper deck window. A one-stud wide body color
matched 45 degree slope also sits between each window in an attempt to follow
the slope of the airplane window, which, unfortunately, is a little steeper.
Well, now that I've written this, a picture seems in order. I'll try for this
week in case anyone is interested.
I have seen Ben Fleskes (I think) use black 45 degree slopes to acheive a
wonderful double decker window effect. From a distance, I think this technique
looks great! I like it.
Robin Werner gives a great treatment to Superliner double deck cars.
later,
