Try the buffing rouge they use on a strop to fine polish the edge of woodcarving knives/gouges. Scrape some powder onto a piece of polishing cloth then use the cloth to polish the model. I tried that too, polishing rouge are powders are very very fine abrasives, they only work on very hard surfaces like steel, they strip painted surfaces.... Thanks for the suggestion Jack....

Egilman Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share #423 Posted July 4, 2020 Ok maybe If I show my brothers what I'm trying to do with the finish on my zipper they will understand why airbrushing paint isn't going to cut it....... 1/32nd scale Hase F-104 C..... And he replicated this finish on a Hase 1/32nd F-104G.... That's is what I'm trying to replicate and it ain't happening with paint.... that I already know.... there is a product out there that will put a polished metal finish on plastic that looks like real metal in scale and will take decals and finishing... Uschi's powders come very very close to that.... but can't take decals or be finished..... I've tried contacting the builder but he's fallen off the planet.... Now this is where a stubborn streak comes in, it's been done, I WILL find out what product or products do this finish on plastic.... There is no paint product that can match that....

Egilman Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share #426 Posted July 4, 2020 Ok, I did a quick and dirty test just to see if it's as advertised.... (I've seen so many products that aren't over the last two weeks) This is a pigment powder infused carnuba wax.... (the same stuff you wipe on and wipe off your car) The idea is to take a soft cloth, put a dab on the cloth and just polish the surface..... I'm using the old M-41 turret upper, figured I would polish the sides.... Remember wipe on polish in.... That took all of three minutes..... Other side.... That took two minutes... It is hard shelled and will not wash off when completely dried.... No fingerprints either.... It should handle decals without problem... So as a supreme test, I went and applied it to the unpainted insides of the turret, bare dirty green plastic.... It went down there just as easy as the outer surfaces did... A little goes a LOOOng way...... Polished metal finish in a few minutes... YES, It is this easy... (no it can't be that damned easy) YES, it is... All it took was five minutes, no muss, no fuss as easy as polishing your silverware.... The amazing thing is this product has been around for decades all those years of fretting over BMF's, paint formulations, powders and chrome, and this product, which makes it super easy, has never really been seen..... I only stumbled across the example pics in a generic web search for bare metal finishes.... Now I know what I'm doing..... Thank you all for following along.... EG I"ll do a more detailed test if anyone wishes it, but for me I'm done looking.... I've found it...

It was seeing Paul's work on that F-104C Craig that got me onto an accurate BMF... and I vowed I was going to duplicate it... His application is flawless in the pictures.... almost looks like a real aircraft, hard to tell the difference when compared to pics of the real thing... I haven't tried clear coating it yet but my first test will be Future, and then maybe Testors ultra gloss.... Paul didn't clear coat his, (you can tell by the noticeable decal edges in one of the pics) but other than that gorgeous work... Those pics have been my inspiration.....

Yep I can now report that it takes a clear coat, both Future and Testors ultra clear very very well without lifting and no noticeable darkening... I can also report that it masks better than paint... the Future was brushed on in a very thin coat so even with the pressure of brush stroking it didn't lift... (after about three hours curing time allowing the wax to completely harden) If you apply it with a brush you can clean the brush with paint thinner Testors regular thinner/brush cleaner takes it right out of your brush with no residue.... (don't get it on your freshly buffed finish on the model though) It's like this product was made for modeling BMF's on airplanes....

Waiting on my care package for Microscale to arrive. I have the silver Rub-n-Buff and the pewter arrives today for the darker panels on the tail..... I also have bought a few more decals for her, mostly the myriad stenciling that is all over the bird... that from viewing Pauls examples are readily distinguishable on the silver, you can't read them of course but they are seeable... They add a lot to the overall look... So will be posting more shortly, after the supplies arrive and as soon as I can get the canopy masked and reinstalled.

I thought the 7-11 on your profile was where you like to hang out, (A convenience store for those outside the US)! It doesn't matter anyway unless you are older than me now! Well........................ I suppose you don't HAVE to be older than me, congratulations. I was wondering what that date was all over my records... I guess that is it... Older? nah, you just have passed a few more mile markers than I Lou.... On a side note, I considered suing 7-11 for using my information as the name for their business till I found out that they have passed more markers than both of us..... {chuckle} Thanks my friend..
