| Very very clean job there - excellent! |

| This is looking good! I know how hard it is to sheet. I used to sheet fuses too, but found that it adds width that makes things like canopies, cowls and other plastic parts no longer fit. Since I started the infill method, I've not had that problem. However, infill is a lot more time consuming, so I still tend to sheet things like wings that don't have a lot of compound curves. |

| Looks nice.

| To add, someday I will try to infill, but maybe on a more simple - less curvy design. |

| Forgot to mention a little be goes a LONG way! I've done 5-6 1/48 models including the 17 and have only used about 10% of a bottle. I purchased two bottles not having ever used it before, but i think a single bottle will last me years at the rate its going. Also water soluble.

| Hey Brian, no problem at all. Thank you again for the plans!
I would take you up on the Bearcat for sure, but I've already gone out and bought it. : ) It'll most likely be my next build right after Precious Metal. I'm thinking I might convert it to the older Rare Bear, circa 1990s White w/ gold trim. Gotta give some competition to the 51. |

| Hi Jgood and thanks,
I use Micro Metal Foil Adhesive from Microscale. I cut out an oversized piece, paint on the glue and let dry for about 30 seconds or so. Tack down to the plastic and burnish with a rolled paper trunnion. After that, a toothpick is the best tool for the job IMO. I’ve gotten to where I’ll burnish the entire thing with it. #11 razor to trim it all out, then Rosie the riveter sprocket tool to create riveting effects : )

| Looks really good. What glue are you using to stick the foil down? |

| thanks for the gift card clif! i would be glad to give you bearcat plans. it is the dumas plans, but it doesn't give you a cross section of the fuselage and wing formers. tell me if you are interested? |

| That's a great technique. Going to need to remember that! |

| thanks Ed, the titanium panels were done with bleach and a few pennies thrown in to cook the aluminum foil. The longer submerged, the more gold/ bronze color will appear, even pinks and yellows depending on other factors. Water down, more or less copper, and then the time variable.

| Looking forward to see this. My next model is probably going to be the Bugatti P100 I designed this winter (http://www.virtualaerodrome.com/image_browser.html?p_aircraft_id=725&p_user_id=1412) I've modeled a contra-rotating prop setup that fits in the transmission of the model. I haven't tried printing it yet, but I don't think there will be a problem as long as I give enough room for resin shrinkage. I've got pictures of the design in my hanger. |

| I really like this effect and the weathering! Very cool. |
| crob, Comment for image # 43332 | 30 Jul 21 10:53 |
| Don't think i didn't think about it : )
Guess I have an affinity for shiny objects. |

| is the c-10 covered in aluminum? lol. |
| crob, Image # 43334 | 30 Jul 21 10:17 |
Revell 1/48, so far this is the largest undertaking i've attemped. This is with the thinnest, cheapest kitchen foil I could find. |
