[WWI] Talon Acrylics/Powders

[Tom Ruprecht]

Hi All-

	A satisfied customer testimonial of interest to those of us who are 
looking for materials to create bare metal appearance without lacquer 
stink, or the metal flake graininess of Tamiya metal color acrylics:

	I first heard of the Talon metalizer acrylics in the recent FSM 
sidebar and have since been experimenting with them.  There is a 
learning curve.  So far I have not committed the system to a model, 
but IMHO it has serious potential, especially when used with the 
polishing powders.  Customer service has been excellent so far:

	This is the website of the current owners of the SNJ spray metals 
with which some of you may be familiar.

	I am about to use it on the cowl of my Fokker V.23 and hope to 
develop techniques to use it to depict engine turned finishes such as 
Sopwith and Fokker E type cowls.  Choroszy's Dornier D.I will also be 
up in the future.

	I will post my next experiment on the site if there is any interest.
