Barto Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi All!! Sometimes ago, I've seen on a discussion, that someone used the common alluminium foil (the kitchen one...) to obtain Natural Metal Finishes... It also described how to employ the foil... I can't find anywhere here that discussion.. So, someone could help me, finding it, writing here that technique?! I would really appreciate any help! Thank you in Advance!

polybebber Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Go to the Gallery right here on ARC, click - Jets - RF-84F by Peter Doll. I think that will help a lot. Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Go to the Gallery right here on ARC, click - Jets - RF-84F by Peter Doll. I think that will help a lot. Lothar Having looked at that article and that fabulous model, I can't imagine how I would get the no wrinkle finish - especially around the nose :D And what about the but joints between the bits of foil? Surely you have to be so accurate? It looks great but sounds impossible I shall have to try some on my Lunar Lander shortly. cheers GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Old72s Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 BMF is ridiculously expensive. Kitchen foil plus Microscale foil adhesive does the trick at a tiny fraction of the cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
