CaptainSteve Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share #313 Posted April 22, 2015 Question: Those horseshoes are lovely but would you actually see them once you copper plate the hull? That remains to be seen, JS. I'll try a test this weekend. First up, I'm trying to find some copper foil (thinner than the tape included in the kit for doing the copper plating). My thinkin' being that using a thinner medium would make it easier to press the foil into the ring-pull. I had always figured on doing some form o' colouration to the patina, so having different thicknesses/textures should not matter. mattsayers148, GLakie and Canute 3 Quote CaptainSteve Current Build: HM Granado Bomb Vessel (Caldercraft) My BathTub: Queen Anne Barge (Syren Ship Models) Log: Queen Anne Barge (an build log) Bounty Launch (Model Shipways) Log: Bounty Launch by CaptainSteve Apostol Felipe (OcCre) HMS Victory (Constructo) Check It Out: The Kit-Basher's Guide to The Galaxy Website: The Life & Boats of CaptainSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
