The finish of natural aluminum is very nice.
Another hobby of mine is metal embossing, and I use mainly aluminum.
Is a wonderful metal to handle, and can be painted/treated in several ways.

Now... there are several paths you can follow when modelling.
All of them are valid. What matters is that you enjoy it yourself,
and that you are pleased with the result.

Personally, I think you should not worry about deviating from the materials.
A model is a model. And usually a model has more than one material.
Only seldom you see a paper model made entirely of 100% paper.

After all, even the 1:1 real objects were also made of several materials.

I find interesting that people explore this other techniques. They can teach a lot.
