Has anyone used this? I was thinking it would be more realistic than painting them chrome silver. Thoughts?
Also, where’s the best place to get BMF if my LHS doesn’t carry it?
Scratch build them out of all those free AOL Cd’s your using as coasters.
Little cut here, little filing there…little polish and they almost work as a real mirror.
John,
There’s several things you can use. Bare Metal Foil makes an Ultra Bright Chrome…it’s a little harder to use that the normal aluminim colors, but it works very well for mirrors.
Another thing I use a lot of is mirror finish self adhesive Mylar…or even normal mirror Mylar would work too - all you’d have to do is glue it on.
I picked up a roll of this stuff somewhere many years ago…and it’s got enough on the roll to do about 7 million 1/35 or 1/24 mirrors. I’ll never run out.
Bare Metal Foil can be obtained directly from their website:

Good luck!
