Gilding the lily? (pic)
I posted this picture a few weeks ago, and today I decided to apply some Bare-Metal Foil. Here is the result:

Looks great David, isn't BMF about the best thing ever invented? For modellers, I mean. 😉

Much more realistic and better looking now David IMHO. Well Done.

David, you did a wonderful job with the BMF. There is no question that by picking out the chrome and stainless on these cars, they become real gems. I had a friend, who passed away two years ago, who used to scrape my cars for me. He was a master at doing this. The advantage of scraping is that the trim doesn't increase in size...the obvious disadvantage is that if you slip you can ruin a paint job. In the 80 plus cars he did for me he only slipped once and I had to repaint the car. The cars he did for me were mostly Brooklins and MCUSA.
