hiya Peter!
IIRC, this one was Gordon (Treadhead) Rain's puppy. I believe he decided to back it down to a group build/ info session so as not to pressure too many people away. I think he wanted more of a "this worked for me & this didn't" kind of thing, trying to get newbies to give the scary NMF a shot. Didnt Mal (Holdfast) give the Aluminum Foil/Adhesive method a try? I'm not sure what his final outcome was, but I know he wasn't pleased with the 'streakiness' the brushed on adhesive left behind...
Check Tread's threads, I'm pretty sure it's in there.
On a different note, I'm going to try to post some shots of my very own newbie today. So I'll become a compleat pain in the arse & ask you for some tweaks( okay, more like an overhaul...) on the banner you so kindly designed. ~~~~(ducks to avoid graphics program flung by disgusted English expat)~~~~
[EDIT]- Shermies, the Natural Metal Finish referred to is a method of making a plastic (or resin, whatever) kit look as if it's metal left in it's natural (unpainted) state. Think late war allied aircraft...
