come on, a separate thread for each question?
in a build thread you could collect them...

angle mirrors are offered by several dealers:

You can paint them accordingly
and also apply a reflective foil which looks like thick glass

Posting questions in a thread helps everyone who might have a similar question because not everyone will be looking at my build thread. Also more people see the question and could provide an answer rather than just the people looking at my specific build.

Thanks for the info

:D
We are on a forum of passionates, who create, and share their solutions to modify certain parts of their tank, each one having different techniques and means, it will not be easy to make a specific tutorial? who is going to want to take in their free time for that? instead of building? moreover I think that this forum (otherwise very complete) already provides a lot of information, of course you have to take the time to consult each post (it's tedious) but there are many answers to all kinds of questions. There is also the section "Tips" this is only my personal opinion. :wave:
For episcopes, the simplest and when it is possible? is to use those shown in the photo above, because easier to paint, a light black line around the perimeter, and a "stained glass" paint color green, slightly bluish or shiny, see Mig paints, some use an aluminum paper sticker, on which is added a green plastic film, etc.etc.

:D realization Episcopes:
1: cutting and placing adhesive Alu paper
2: cutting and placing from above (glue points) green transparent film
before the perimeter received a very small stroke of black paint, in order to delimit the exterior.
