Using the suggestion in the link above where they apply curled strips of putty then paint another color, I wonder if you could do the same with the RR paper. Build the part shiny, then cover with pieces of putty, and hit with a light coat of flat gray spraypaint or simply a matte spray to give some flat and some shiny areas. Just a thought.

well thats a fair bit more work that I want to do. Part of my goal here is to apply some of the new techinques I just learned about.
Thanks though, its a great idea for a future build/experimentation Chris

am I stupid or something?
(don't answer that) is this an ecardmodels model? or an FG model? or what model? Fokker Challenge? did I miss something? this sounds really interesting Chris! I'm not a big WW1 models fan, but that FG Contest Fokker got me interested. and I just bought a Maty Modelarz Fokker triplane. I want to know more about this project?

NOPE! Its a complete freebie challenge started by rick - click here for rules
Fokker E.III Challenge Rules I like it because it allows me to practice EVERYTHING I just learned including working with red river paper in a less complex build.

Masking the RR silver, then spraying the matte coat will work. I've done it, but that would prove a rather intricate pattern to replicate.

Here is a perfect example of how the E.III cowling appeared.
http://www.atpm.com/7.01/washington-...-louis-420.jpg The swirled texture was achieved by using a hand-held power buffing wheel and (I assume) a rubbing compound. This was a popular treatment of natural metal cowlings in the teens and 20s. You can see the effect being created in the movie "Spirit of St. Louis" starring General Jimmy Stewart. |

If you are using silver paper (or aluminized paper), you can get the buffed aluminum effect by using a rubber eraser in a dremel tool (or, if you are so lucky as to find one, one of the electric erasers that old-school draftmen use).

Chris have you seen Ron's Fokker D.VI build. The tarnished aluminum effect on his cowling is very realistic looking.
He explans how he did it in post #66 here Marek's 1-33 Fokker D.VI |
