They still beat weedy 'ol Marlboro's any day

Different cigarette but the same holds true from this side of the Atlantic.

I did like this on the Enzo (sorry for the crappy pics but you get the idea..)
First I brushed on Tamiya clear, and let is sit until it got a bit dry and sticky. Then I pressed a spare piece of Tamiya plastic mesh against the sticky clear which resulted in this pattern:


I let it dry completley and then I covered the firewall in Bare Metal Foil and got this result:

Model railroad stores sell a wide variety of thin textured plastic and metal sheets similar to that firewall. If you don't have one locally, buy a copy of Model Railroader magazine and send for some catalogs. Good luck!

Man to get your model to look like that, it takes a lot of hair pulling and lot colorful words, just at the point of tossing the model across the room. some where in there you may get there and all the help from your fellow modelers can and will help you out a lot. (This is to lightin the mood)
Oh yeah go out and get some Detail Wires' you will need lots to do that engine bay. Or rip open a Phone cord!
