Hee,Hee..
I just ran into a Mitchell here that looks vagely familiar..:mrgreen:
But IMHO the B58 deserves all the attention it can get :mrgreen:

 

[gregh]

What? Did that guy dragged out *that* old chestnut here?!!! The man has no shame......

But IMHO the B58 deserves all the attention it can get

Absolutely :thumb:

You should populate some of the plastic-centric model forums with it. Like the American Express commercials we get here in the States, I've no doubt the reaction would be "priceless"....

Absolutely beautiful! I would say that it sets the Gold standard for models, but I would be wrong because obviously it sets the Silver standard.

Bjesus!

Okay, you're on a roll, Billy.

POTW!

But which picture will you choose? Each one is better than the others!

Excellent build buy a TOP guy, and designed by the other TOP guy... Billy and Ken make an AWESOME team. Very well deserved P.O.T.W - My hat is most certainly off to you guys :thumb:

I'd say retire the POTW - but we need to see Bomarc's entry and a few others before we do. Billy - any fiber-optic camera shots of the interior, instrument panels, checklist pages, random goobers lost under the seat ...

How was it done?

Just what is the secret of that natural metal finish? Special paper, or special technique?

Thanks for the info...

Regards,
Robert

It's printed on RedRiver paper and (after printing) sprayed with a Matt-acrillic varnish, if you digg in to some older threads you'll find more information
I bought it from here; http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/silver-metallic-inkjet-paper.html

Excellent job! I like the technique of shooting your pictures on the mirror, it gives a great view of the whole model.
