Pennsylover, cellophane is an idea as well, although I wonder if it will add extra shean? The windows will sandwich plastic, cellophane, and then plastic again. Next weekend, I'll be visiting my mother where I know I can get some red and green samples to try.
The chef figure is indeed an Arttista. He's the chef/RR chef figure #1474. I've noted elsewhere on the forum that I'd like to get extra chef figures and file the spatula down to a knife shape on one of them, and maybe try for a spoon on the other. I'm sure Chef would enjoy putting in his usual long hours at your Plasticville Diner.
