That is very impressive, and and far beyond anything I could have imagined. I do want to thank you first for the glass and water technique of smoothing the foil, a problem I always had and tried to remedy with heavier paper and pressure. The other, equally important step of cleaning the foil was something else I missed, though delamination was not a problem unless I tried to punch out smaller shapes or folded it sharply. Your method yields a beautiful metal panel finish, something else I never did manage. I simply applied the toilet paper to both sides of the foil and used it to bolster the inside of my finishing card and get it to hold a shape. I had a chance to try it your way today and am delighted with the result. I think this, and your subsequent work as illustrated here are major contributions to the advancement of paper modeling, and I want to add my sincere thanks to the many you have already received for your efforts, Well done!
