crob | 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. |
jgood | 06-Aug-21 13:23 | Looks really good. What glue are you using to stick the foil down? |
crob | 06-Aug-21 14:19 | 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 : )

crob | 06-Aug-21 15:00 | 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.
