Global Scale Modeller

Hello here a small how to foil.
I will try to explain as good as i can.
First off all what do we need.
Cotton swabs,a sharp knife,gleu for the foil,foil off course and siccisors.
(the best is that u model isnt painted)


he glass plate is for the foil so u can rub it down without wrinkels.


If u put gleu on your model part be shure there is no dust on it(dust is your worst enemey)
U will see that the gleu s a milky aperenc.




U have to wait untill the gleu is dryd before u put the foil on.
he foil is bigger then the part u whant to foil.
Take a cotton swab en work from the inside to the out side.


Than u have this.


take the sharp knif to cut the foil in the panel line.


Then u can go on for the net panel.


U can use steelwool to get difrent grades.


Be sure u use fine steelwool this is 000.




U can use eather side of the foil and dondt forget to turn the foil 90°
(if u look close to the foil u can see some markings on it)

So when u have ried it u can get good results.


the first model i have foild whas a old F-4 kit
So tryfirst on a old kit
Good luck to u all.

Great how to mate thank you for doing this.

Great little tutorial. Do you use the wire wool to get the different coloured panels as seen in the final picture?
Cheers,

Excellent guide, thanks for adding this to the forum

cheers that was great thancks, now of to the kitchen to grab the foil

Nice one! I tried this once, but only on a small piece. Looks great on yours!

Looks fab. Is that supermarket kitchen baking foil?

Been waiting for this, thanks man

Few questions:
When you put on the second piece, you also take a piece that is to big put it a little bit over the first piece.
Then you cut it in the panelline.
Don't you then have the problem that you can see the cut? I mean, can't you see a cuttingline then?

Do you put the decals directly on the foil or do you first put on a clear coat?

Thanks again

Hello
Yes the foil is Always bigger than the pannel u are going to do.
This s for protection if u are going to use the steelwool.

And yes then u cut in the line and the lines are good visible.
I have clearcoat the models with sol plus before the decals ae going in to place.
