Mr Modeller Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Very nice work! Are the drop tanks also foiled? Cheers, Mario Hello Mario and thanks for your nice comments about my work Yes, the drop tanks have been foiled - took seven strips in total to do each one, in order to get it to conform to the complex curves without creasing, but I got there in the end!! Foil finish execute very very well! Great job. Hello rpaddy, thanks very much for your nice remarks, they are very much appreciated and I'm glad that you like my work!

Hello Daran, glad you could make it and great to see you posting here on Britmodeller - welcome, my friend!! Not sure your wife would appreciate me foiling your hallway, it'd look like a hall of mirrors and with the amount of time that the ladies spend looking in the mirror, she'd get nothing else done mate?!

Darwinism Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Terrific finish - love it. I think you may have inspired me to give foiling a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairystick Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 A beautiful result! You should be well chuffed. May I ask what adhesive you used to apply the foil with please? I attempted to chase up some of the Microscale brand but our national distributor fails to import it here... *grumble*. Will also look forward to your WIP!

Dave N Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Foiled again! Wow this looks amazing...as well as being a lovely build of a great little kit- Inspirational. regards, Dave ...that foil also does a nice silver leaf substitute when applied in 4" squares, dull side out to various surfaces....

Mr Modeller Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Many thanks for your great comments chaps, so very pleased that you like my work, it means a lot to receive such praise and is always appreciated !! A beautiful result! You should be well chuffed. May I ask what adhesive you used to apply the foil with please? I attempted to chase up some of the Microscale brand but our national distributor fails to import it here... *grumble*. Will also look forward to your WIP! Hello Hairystick, unfortunately for you it is indeed 'Microscale' Metal Foil Adhesive that I use. It's a brilliant glue for the job, allowing a little time to position the foil and is 'pressure activated', which makes it really bond once it has started to go off!! Hope that your national distributor can get their act together soon for you and it will be nice to see the results of other members' attempts at the method (a little underused in my opinion and can be just as good or better than the Alclad paints when used correctly?)

jbpruitt Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 What looks more like metal than metal? Amazing work- thank you for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Modeller Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thank you JBP, I really appreciate your comments and I agree, why use metallised paints when you can use the real thing - even if it does take a lot longer to apply?!! It certainly gives a more convincing end result I feel, which makes the extra effort all the more worth it? :coolio: Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
