I'm actually working on redrawing the F-104 right now. I plan on updating the graphics, and making some new versions.

This is a fascinating thread. Thank you for the details sharing techniques.
Now, my confession: One of my gift horse heads was returned after it delaminated-fell apart. It appears to be one I tried using a type of super glue. Even though Master Builder Gman93643 recommended using Loctite Gel I hurriedly used Quick Grip that was on hand to return the horse head. Coke Christmas can aluminum sheets from past years were in a box by my work bench. I spent a few evenings laminating some of the sheets and with the remaining Quick Grip tubes I decided to make three horse heads as Christmas gifts. Granted, I have much to learn and look forward to a Loctite gel experience. The horse heads stand 7 Inches tall. BP |

I'll be using an opaque windscreen for the cockpit, and with landing gears as in Murph's original design.

BTW, I welcome anyone who's interested in building anything (models) in cans, or intend to do so, to present his/her work, comments and ideas in this thread. I think Gman who has over 20 years of experience in this field will glad give advice and guidance to new and old hands alike. Though this is a PAPER model forum, all the can models I presented are based on papermodel kits. And thus, there is a co-relation between the two.

Do you scrub off the inner coating of the can?

You're just using paper made from metal instead of wood.

Thank you Gman,
I score/scratch (removing any coating) on all the joining surfaces. Is this one of your techniques? BP |

No. During my many experiments over the years, I learned that if you use any type of abrasive to remove the coating, this small bit of alteration alters the cans in some minor way that makes them that much harder to join or causes the cans to eventually lose their adhesiveness. So the process remains to simply wash them out with dish soap and water then set them on a dish rack to dry. Or use the technique I have mastered to remove the paint and logos from the outer surface if you prefer to build with bare aluminum cans...
