Hi guys,
I have some buildings on my HO layout that I am going to light up. But, they don't have interiors and I want light diffuse the windows without spending the $16+ for the woodlands scenics diffusing package. Does anyone have any tips or ideas to create diffusers that look realistic without buying the overpriced one? Any home made strategies?
Thanks,

Looks like it's just frosted film. You can frost clear film by spaying it with Dullcote. Use one of those cheap report covers for the film.

I've used "magic" transparent tape on the insides of windows in some of my structures to diffuse the light and block viewers from looking inside. Also to make some windows appear to be in rooms that are not occupied, I've added black electrical tape to the insides.
