I've started an Airfix LEM and am using foil and lots of stretched sprue!

What are you using for the foil (which candy bar)?

LOL...actually the gold I bought at a Michael's craft store for 5.00. The silver foil is Reynold's aluminum foil off the roll.

Tell me more about the gold foil -- like what section of Michael's did you find it? I need to check that out. I'm working on a modeling project and I'm also on a low-carb diet, so buying Cadbury chocolate bars for their gold foil is too much of a temptation....

Hershey's almond kisses provide a great source of gold foil and there is no kind of paper backing!
