Probably spray, on a test piece I'd like to try chrome then hit it with a white wash. Metal tape sounds interesting though.....

I might have to look to see if it's available in the UK. Pantherman

I'm out. £234 is way over my budget. Looking forward to seeing your build though. Pantherman

One advantage of those silver-plastic kits with raised panel lines...after paint you can shave off the raised part which reveals the original plastic making nice and smooth panel lines without the raised bit.

New, sealed.
Like a fine wine, will have to build it for a special occasion.
Pretty much anytime then.

Rode the light rail from downtown to the box stores of burblands. Hit the Michaels for some paint supplies. And clear 'white glue', did not know that was a thing...

The Galkyd medium can be used for thinning, blending and supposedly will be touch-dry in thinly applied oils in 24 hours. Hope it works! Figure painting with oils is now taking weeks.
