  1. Thank you, Mike.
  2. Thanks Chris. Thanks John.
  3. I used BMF brand new improved chrome. Thanks Ray.
  4. Thanks Mike. Thank you, Jim.
  5. Thanks Rob, I was wondering why I haven't seen someone try it before. I used a whole sheet on the car and the trim.I might try aluminum foil next time. I used a lot of big pieces,but it wastes a lot. If you rip the foil at the seams instead of cutting it, it doesn't show as much. The sanding really hides it and the wash helps too. When you put the big pieces on ,start in the middle and work your way out. I use the paper stemmed Q-tip and cut one end off to get into the tight corners. I used 400 grit paper and stainless steel metalizers for a dollar couple of tight corners.
  6. Thanks Dale, I wasn't sure about the skull either ,but it needed something. Thanks Bob.

  10. Kevin ,I was going to post a link to my photo bucket but it looks like I must have mistakenly removed then!I can't believe I did that ,sorry .I don't have any pictures of it.I still haven't finished it ,but it maybe getting casted in resin soonhttp://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c238/Psychographic/Models/MM.jpgthis is all I could find.
  11. Thanks Steve ,I think I used 400. Thanks Jeff.
  12. Thanks Sam,it took a couple of days to finish up all the foil.I did use a whole sheet on it. If you really think about it, it took a lot less time than a shiny paint job.
  13. Thanks Cliff.
  14. Thanks Bob.
  15. Thank you , Andre . Thanks Carl.

  19. Ya, it's a little hard to see.It would probably be better if I had added more details.
  20. Thank you Van.
  21. Thanks Dan.
  22. 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.
