mark31 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Foil...that's daring. You're a brave man. Rob Yes i know its not the first one im going to do To bad you have to close up all that beautiful work! I know but i have the pics. What i have done today a small start on the foil. these parts are easyer to do when he wings are not in place. Mark 2
mark31 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 After 12 hours of fun with the foil. Mark 5
mark31 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Firt wing almot done after 16 hours. Mark 2
Beychevelle Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I tried this method once, with a Monogram 1/48 B-17, but that was a disaster. Highly visible glue stains, wrinkles and what more. How do you do it? what type of glue do you use? Maybe I'll give it another try with something simple like a bare metal 109 wing underside. Rob 1

Beychevelle Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks! bookmarked ...for something simple only though
crazypoet Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I'm watching this with interest! Your work with foil is simply stunning! I'm looking off into my future HKM B-17 build in NMF. So... I'll ask the same question of you that I just asked on Moldmkr's B-17 thread: Between Alclad and foil for large surface areas, which is your preference? I've done smaller pieces with metal finishes out of everything from paint to foil to metal leaf, and all of them have their headaches. What's your preference? 1
mark31 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 I will go for foil for almost all the way. Just the complex forms suchs as the back end off the engine nacless i have done with alclad. All the rest is foil. If you dondt have any expirience with foil try it on a test model. more things done. Mark 3
kahunaminor Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Great stuff Mark, That foil process is a great find. The build looks top notch and thanks for sharing it. Regards,
JaseGill Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Looking stunning Mark. Great build and I cant wait to see the end result J.
