crackerjazz Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hi, I've been searching for this orange-gold blanket but couldn't find it anywhere. Does anyone know a good source? I'm referring to this foil from Vincent's site: I noticed the same orange-gold foil on Ricardo's LM and he hipped me to a product at the Kennedy Space Center. I bought one online and got this. To my eye it looks like the yellow-gold one, though. There is this site that sells orange candy wrapper that only comes in 3" x 3" sizes. But doesn't really match Vincent's foil color. Has anyone been wanting to build an LM lately and found a good source for a survival blanket in that delicious orange-gold color? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I found foil candy wrappers of various colors at either Hobby Lobby or Michaels can't remember which. I also had success "coloring" foils with Sharpie markers of various colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hotdog Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Here are some notes I had saved from one of the LM modeler experts (I can't remember where I got this): https://www.candylandcrafts.com/Extra_Thin_Confectioners_Foils.htm Gold matches 0.5 mil Kapton Orange matches 2 mil Kapton Burgundy matches 5 mil Kapton Silver matches the nickel foils. Black matches the Pyromark (though it will need a flat coat to knock down the shine). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
