I have seen the models from Young C. before, they inspired me to use real aluminium, but his models are in a big scale witch its more "easy" to buid them but in 1:33 scale its another world

Print on Aluminum Surface
Quote:
Printing rivet detail on the surface at least tells you where the rivet detail needs to go. Rojas Bazan's technique is more in line with the build direction. -Gil |

How does this tooling foil compare to heavy duty aluminum foil you get in the grocery store?

Tooling Foil vs. Kitchen Foil
Quote:
The 0.005" tooling foil comes in a dead soft state allowing if to be formed into compound curved panels that fit the airframe surface. Forming it uses nearly identical methods to those used for the full scale subject by the restorer community only smaller in scale and suitability for the purpose. Below shows the nose from a Grumman F6F backed with tooling foil and then formed. It turned out fairly well as this was a first go at this technique. The model was scanned and printed on 100% cotton rag which is better suited to the purpose. After similar experiments I've become comfortable with tooling foil as a suitable building material for card models. -Gil |

Taking the advise of Bob I decided to do another test with this technique, a complete P-47D wing, with all the panels and rivets, it took a lot of time but the result is fantastic, also the gear bay is done with paper and aluminium and paited after so simulate a real wear, when finish the wing also will paint it with the clasic yellow line.
I like the aluminium finished but, I this this is going far from what a paper model is |

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.

They wing is done, I also try paint the aluminium with enamel paint to see the final effects, not bad, I thinking to finish the complete model but noxt time I will use airbrush instead normal brush.
