Pat Minarick Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) I finished this one up today.I covered the body in BMF and lightly sanded it,then washed over it with a rusty wash. I made the taillights from googly eyes ,cutting the back out and painted them stoplight red on the inside. It's not perfect but I was just trying something new.

Sixties Sam Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Now that really is BARE METAL foil! I can't imagine how long it must have taken to foil the whole body! Amazing work! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Rider Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's pretty cool Pat. What grit of sandpaper did you use? I can see many possible uses for this look. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'll be honest, the model isn't my cup of tea. But I really like that bare-steel effect- good to keep in mind for projects that might require it. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I love that metal effect, what a great idea you have come up with, it looks like real steel. The black roof looks great too, not sure about the skull, but it's your build,...... top job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I covered the body in BMF and lightly sanded it,then washed over it with a rusty wash. Wow. I've been waiting for someone to try this. I did just a '34 Ford hood for the same efffect. I love the look of it, and would love to try it. I have some questions, if you don't mind? How many sheets did it take to cover the whole car? Did you do it in large panels or smaller strips? How well does the overlaps of foil pieces disappear and did the wash help that or hinder that? Was keeping large pieces of foil wrinkle free as you worked them, as frustrating as I imagine? What grit sandpaper did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Man Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Wow - what a chore that must have been! But....well worth the effort - I like everything about it. Well done sir!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTalmage Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 what type of BMF are you using? I can mostly only find chrome, matte aluminum, gold, and black chrome at hobby shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
