Hey Butz!!!

Finally got most of the aluminum skin on. It's a very interesting process (and time consuming) to say the least. I am not very happy with my first attempt at finishing a model this way, but I gotta practice some time. It certainly has taught me alot. I do like the natural metal finish, just my application is horrid

Here are some picts of it so far (man, do I need a tripod)



Some of my seam work you can see in these picts (tho not very clear). I need to plan my seams better. Also, I used a metal scribe to rescribe the panels lines on this monogram kit - they are too petite for the foil, would have been fine for metalizers.
What you also don't see is how horrid the wing undersides look (brush stokes, unevenly applied glue and so on.

If you plan on trying this make sure your filled seams are letter perfect, for they will show otherwise..[:0]

I plan on doing this again, but I am going to take a very different tack ie: not fully assemble the model first, use panel lines as a overlap joint, use a plastic scribe, find away to thin the glue enough to put a light coat down with my airbrush and so on.

chalk anudder one up to experience (and back of the shelf)

have fun
