Hello!
An aluminum door.
The outline is marked with a ballpoint pen (red ...) in an aluminum foil thanks to a metal template. Then I cut the outline and I sanded it. It remains to stick it. There it is just posed.
The tail is picked up a bit:
An aluminum scotch plate is glued around the passenger compartment. The scotch tape is sanded flat on a clean glass plate with 1000 sandpaper, then glued to the model. It is shaped with a toothpick and then cut with a new blade using a piece of dymo tape as a rule. I absolutely wanted to have the extra thickness with the rivet marks. It took me a long time to get there:
The leather outline needs to be reworked a bit.
The whole is covered with surfacing. I still have to sand it a little.
I remade screws in relief.
It's still better. Especially with the naked eye.
A little paint.
I want to obtain a very light gray aluminum almost without metallic reflection. Like my mom's aluminum saucepan. Those who are my age must have seen this at home small.
No ?..
since I don't have white paint to mix with aluminum. from HK, I chose to paint in aluminum. and then varnish in math to break the gloss. Before aluminum. I have a little pre-shaded in black.
The aluminum was slightly patinated with dark gray felt before varnishing.
.
The math varnish (HK) was not enough so I put in the varnish a little bit of light gray paint (like pearl gray).
The effect is what I wanted. The actual color is more subtle than the photo shows, a little more metallic.
Right, the cover before being varnished.

Regards !
