[@LanceisLawson]

This site is an inspiration, especially if one is prone to making mistakes.....as I am. Carry on great work!

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Thanks for sharing.

[@StarStream707]

Good information..know what you mean about BMF not sticking..going to try hair dryer, thks!

[@adamgrainger391]

Why not just use a scalpel blade handle instead of snipping the blade?

[@ScaleModelTechniques]

It’s a matter of preference , I simply don’t like the feel of the handle in my hand ….

[@donniegreenway8401]

Hey Donn is that green coronet kit in front of you a good kit

[@ScaleModelTechniques]

I use them more for parts than anything else . The body needs tweaked to make it right . Some day when I’m feeling masochist, I’ll build another one …😂

Bare metal foil....rule #1 take it easy on the coffee... #2 a nice hard drink....#3 take a valium 10 Relax daddy's little helper.....#5 a nice brand new sharp #11 blade....on to the Zen of Chrome!😁👍

[@Builtbyronny]

👍

[@jonathanbroome5021]

I haven't watched most of your vids yet but plan to. Can you tell me what would be a good way to make the chrome look more real? Like how to tone it down? So it looks a bit weathered?

[@jonathanbroome5021]

I'm new at this but do have years of exp. with scale models. 1" = 1' scale houses so I should catch on

[@MichaelBrewer]

Use a black wash.

[@crazypainter56]

there are other foils made -did you ever try them

[@ScaleModelTechniques]

Yes . Most have proven to be too thick .

[@pikurtoy]

Don, What brand of knife handle is that ?

[@ScaleModelTechniques]

Exacto # 11

Nothing like the real thing ( Aluminum)! Being surgically clean goes a long way! Surgical blades work best and last longest!🤔😝🫡🇺🇸
