Zathros, thank you much for that comment.
Joe, I did as you advised and printed a couple models on photo paper and they do look more like tin with with a glossy paint job. I was concerned with bending the paper as it is .0010 as compared to 67 lb card stock at .0008. There was some slight cracking of the shinny side but was able to touch it up with a rather dry water color. When taking the picture I was trying to get some glare off the tanks but only got it off the bottle cap. As we all have tried photos on regular copy paper and then printed on photo paper, the improve quality is very evident. So it is with these little toys, the detail stands out so much more. John
