Body patterns that originally have a "frame" where the glass is laid and glued on get windows from exactly cut bottle material. Simply because some glass parts are biconvex, and there are biconvex parts in many bottles, too.
Vacuformed gass parts of resin kits are being copied and vacformed,
Injection molded glass parts of - for example - diecasts are cast, too.
Casting works absolutely easy. No bubbles, no heating, no pressure.
I would cast thin vacuformed and similar glass parts, too. But I had to thicken the originals by adding exactly cut tape on the screens to make them castable. And this is not easy.
