I've not tried my cutter for that - but notes made... Iain Thanks Iain, good to see you around. Just in a few attempts with BMF this afternoon I'm learning not to be afraid of it - it's quite resilient and takes a bit of rough handling so if this works on all the panels I think it will be my go-to method, it's certainly more forgiving than some NMF Alclad finishes.

dennismcc Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 That looks like a great way to create a metallic finish, a cunning plan that worked, great stuff. Cheers Dennis mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerwomble Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It's all looking very fine there ! Hawkers bipes always looked so graceful . unlike my friends at Blackburn efforts. i occasionally frequent the Victoria pub in Jericho , Oxford , which has a very nice 1/6th scale (or so) Fury hanging in its stairwell . Always puts a smile on my face. mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Interesting, I’m a fairly regular visitor to Oxford, where might I find this pub? My daughter in law lives in the Marston district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 More work on the Fury after a lovely week's holiday in Monmouthshire! I've finished cutting all the nose panels except the bottom one using the Silhouette cutter, makes life so much easier! These pics show the forward nose band being applied, quite a complex curve so lots of pressure and burnishing required, but results are OK: Some points that I've learned about using Bare Metal foil: a) it's quite robust so can take a bit of "mishandling" b) despite its inherent stickiness, it can be moved slightly before final smoothing and burnishing c) it can be cut perfectly on a Silhouette cutter using a Force setting of 2 d) it comes off easily if you don't get it right the first time and need to re-apply a newly cut panel BUT e) every time you peel one off, it leaves a slight sticky residue which prevents b) above to a degree f) it goes down well, I've used a combination of different size and profile cotton buds as my main tools but for real burnishing of creased parts the handles of a small pair of scissors works Might even do some painting soon.....there's quite a bit of touching up to do as well as all the markings! So looking forward to getting that top wing permanently on, I can't count the number of times I've bashed the interplane struts...it's amazing they are still there. scvrobeson, Gazzas, GMK and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Beautiful work Max. That's a fine looking Fury. Keep it up. mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 With less trouble than expected, the final nose panel was fitted. I'd be the first to admit that it is not perfect, a little tweaking is necessary in some not-so-obvious places, so I'm pretty much calling the foiling done. Having said that, I am going to try covering the intakes on the side panels, having gained some experience with applying foil I think it's eminently doable.

mozart Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Oh, effulgent is a new word for me Maru.....I thought it was what went down the pan .....but I see it means shining brightly! Yep, she's effulgent alright. I shall have to try to fit that into my daily conversation . MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
