      Ian, that foil looks great. You’re making fast progress.

        Great progress, and an excellent looking model Ian.
        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

          This is what I’m using for the foil.

            That boom looks great with the foil. Really interesting . I've not seen it done before, didn't even know it was possible or that there was special adhesive.

              A fascinating approach ?
              I had (falsely) assumed you were using Bare Metal Foil.
              Looks good though
              I'll keep watching this telly channel and follow your progress!

                Great little kit, no filler in the one I put together, interested to see how you get on hoping you're not 'foiled' by foiling with foil! Ha!

                could be really useful for adding detail and contrast to a metal finish build

                Miko (yet to meddle with metal)
