Foil Covered Art

[moon puppy]

Sometimes you guys and gals build models that jump into a realm of realism that makes it hard to tell the scale, even better you can see some builds where it's hard to tell if it's real or not.

You all need to check this out.



Is it real or Trumpeter? The Metal Foil covering this bird is normal everyday tin foil out of the kitchen. And not a spec of mud anywhere...

This was built by Peter Doll and posted at the Aircraft Resource Center website. Great site for us folks who have flying thingys on the mind.

Wow! That's seriously impressive!

How did he apply the foil to the plastic? As in what bonding agents used?

Thanks for posting, Bob

Rudi,
He probably used Micro foil adhesive by Krazel industries or Bare Metal foil adhesive by Bare metal. It is real good for attaching foil and a very thin adhesive.
Cheers
