Re: simulating stainless steel

[Denny Anspach <danspach@m...>]

At the recent Prototype Modeler's Meet in Cocoa Beach, FL, Andy 
Sperandeo demonstrated to what I judged to be a pretty well convinced 
and sophisticated audience what he had found to be the best method so 
far: Alcad silver paint applied over gloss black (Scalecoat in this 
instance). Alcad is commonly available in R/C hobby stores.
My view? I thought it looked pretty good. Andy passed around the 
room an Athearn fluted car body (RPO) so painted, and it was 
extremely attractive, better looking in fact than some of the many 
plated brass cars in my own possession.
