How to make plastic look like stamped metal?

On an exposed frame, for example....

One idea I had, and Walter seemed to agree, was layering .005" thick strips on flat surfaces, then applying thin cement to weld down the edges.

Any other ideas? Especially for beams w/ circles stamped in them...? TIA!

Do u mean this sort of thing Jay?

Cool! In that case you might want to check this tool (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=4258171&Typ1_c=107&Typ2_c=119&Typ3_c=803&SPage=1&SC=16&SN=Tools+Hasegawa+TriTool&It_c=10015619&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=&app_url=shop_right_e.asp) out, I just got one, arrived yesterday. As it says, it's a scribing template but u can easily use it to cut out perfect shapes from thin plastic.

I take it you're looking into this for the Spoon S2K?

Any additional suggestions still welcome! :D

I think the strips of .005 plastic is perhaps the best solution for any raised areas, that's probably how i would have done it.
