    Probably not, it's going to be heavy and will be on a diorama, yet to build, but will be track based being my Jupiter Locomotive.

      If it’s a model you’re not going to handle (except to build it), then the paint rubbing off won’t be a major concern, I would think. For, say, a wargames model or a working train model that you regularly have to put on or lift off its track, it would be something to keep in mind, but not for a model on a diorama, IMHO.

        Thanks for that, was a concern that it would affect the look of the finish, so that answers that question. :smiling: :thumb2:

          Have you considered using Bare Metal Foil? They do it in Gold.
          Bare-Metal® Foil is perfect for duplicating chrome on model cars, model trucks, and model aircraft. Bare-Metal® also looks great on die cast models. You can use Bare-Metal® any place that real metal would add detail to a finished kit. Bare-Metal® Foil is a thin metal foil with a self-adhesive backing. Bare-Metal® can be applied to painted surfaces or plain plastic. Plus since Bare-Metal® Foil is so thin it conforms to compound curves.

          It's incredibly thin and conforms to quite complex shapes.

            Hmmm hadn't thought of that, might be worth looking into that, thanks for the tip.
