I've searched around and nothing has come up, but does anyone make decals to replicate engine-turned metal in 1/24-25 scale?

Or does anyone have an idea how to replicate this?

Thanks.

if i recal correctly someone did it with baremetal or silver/gold leaf, and udes a q-tip and ?toothpaste?? and individually turned every detail. I know a few of the lowrider guys do it with leafing.

i have found success using a round ink eraser turned downed in diameter. Next I twisted it slowed on the BMF making an overlapping pattern.

Thanks guys, I was thinking of similar approaches with BMF and a light abrasive and I'll probably give it a try.

If you were an MCM subscriber you would have seen the "Scratchbuilding School" feature that covered this in detail.

I am a subscriber (and have to renew soon too)! What issue was the tutorial in, if you don't mind? I've only been getting the mag for 10 months or so now and don't recall seeing. I'll have to look through the issues that I do have and see if it's in one of them.
