Found in any dictionary:

Brunafied
adjective
to copy and reproduce something as a miniature work of art.

Are you sure the spelling is correct and not Brunofied?
and you missed from the dictionary
...........in paper.

ps: Superb Gekko, what kind of paper did you used for your brunofied model?

[Don Boose]

I have been known to misspell words, but I think Garry and I were using the Australian-Pennsylvanian spelling. I will be happy to use your version, wireandpaper.

Thanks w&p. It's 100gsm (don't know what that is in lb's) and laser printed at my local print shop. They only charge 69c per A4 and if I can fit 2 models on a sheet it's even cheaper per model!

Putting aside the skills, it is worth the extra money!
Glossy / photographic?

Nah. This is they're standard laser print. The only downside is sometimes colours print darker than I would like.

I might have found the solution to this problem.

Those big laser printers always come with A LOT of settings.I found that regular/standard thickness paper setting always results in dark prints.Printer I get to use has 4 settings for "heavyweight paper",Nr1 and Nr2 settings work great on my 67lb/148g/m2 paper I use,other two work so-so on 110lb/300 g/m2 paper.

Colors I get are still a hair darker than they should be but most importantly print is a lot more even and I don't get "raised" shiny layer of paint on (that always flaked of a bit crating cool weathering effect".

Trouble can be with convincing (sometimes lazy) employee behind the counter to change settings.Unfortunately those behind counter often have zero desire/knowledge/interest to do better job.

Time for a little free model.
(perhaps because I don't want to do the test build and there was hardly any place on the paper left for landing gear).

Bingo.
Even asking to print 'actual size' gets me a look as if I asked them to jump over the moon.
