seiran01 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thank you for taking the time to share this tutorial, this is something I'd like to try in the near future. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORMCO Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Could you use an "English Wheel" to get a compound curve? The litho plate looks strong and thick enough. daHeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Nice tutorial, Peter! When you lay it out like that, it almost looks like I could do it! Maybe... Anyway, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Totally brilliant, Peter. I'm really considering now to use aluminium sheet skinning for my projects. It's looking absolutely stunning when done by a master like you. I must try that! Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Cheers Rainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I've actually put the Viggen on hold and ordered some aluminium sheet, 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm, both as soft and semi hard alloys. Thanks to your great tutorial, Peter, I'm gonna try this! Cheers Rainer airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Me too. It gives very impressive results. But then it should, being very thin formed aluminium sheet being used to represent very thin formed aluminium sheet!! Tim airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Just bought some of this...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301638101608?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Will let you know how I get on! Also getting some carbon fibre tube for some wing spar experiments... Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 love it! good luck chaps this was the listing I got my litho from but it seems he has none currently listed.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331512512119?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ..looking forward to NMF being the new black... daHeld and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Great tutorial Pete. Have you tried annealing it for compound curves? This looks to be very 'do-able'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FxhdFsrzSmY I think that Alan Clark used this technique for his large scale model aircraft prop spinners and nose cones.

wunwinglow Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My delivery arrived today, dispite careful packaging our dear Post Office crunched up one corner of all the sheets, but this material is lovely to work with! I'll do a few more panels and post some pics. Guys, give this a go! Tim Derek B, daHeld and EmperorKai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 hi a very interesting tutorial ,thank you for sharing... that seems to be so easy!!!!! , even if some practices are needed , .I think it would be risky , dirty , in tight curves as wing roots or Karmann ....well, let's try it and train .I never dared such thing , even after a long model making practice Alain daHeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Alain, it's a bit daunting at first, but once you get a feeling for the material. it's not too difficult (though Peter's work is setting a very high standard). But it is a lot of work, granted. Cheers Rainer daHeld and alain11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 hi Thank you Rainer for these words, that comfort me .....Well I have to confess , I tried years ago , I used at this time " bare metal foil" this was very thin ( as thin as ,( maybe more ) these aluminium sheets that wrap up chocolate), it was self adhesive aluminium , it was so thin that it torn up or wrinkled .A pity !!! maybe not the right stuff , or urge !!!!! but , it seems there are new easily usable stuffs available now Alain daHeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
