your using a baking sheet ... use an exacto knife to trim off excess it's light enough the blade will do it if you have something to press against no problem...

I was impressed with your results. Using baking pan sheets was a great idea! My goal is to fabricate super light and realistic 1/32 slot car bodies that would be disposable in bad crashes. Building a stamp press to achieve that is beyond the scope of the time I want to invest. I would suggest selecting the panels in the same way the real car was built, and also chemically stripping the paint off of your diecast model to get better detail resolution. Thanx for filming!

Thanks, this is a project I need to get back to. Good idea about stripping the paint. 👏

Pewter foil is worth a try too as it's more malleable than aluminium foil.

You Sir are a patient man! You've inspired me to give this a go...for about 10 minutes!!! ThenI I'll just go and have a cup of tea and ponder!

I think I might have to rethink the methods or speed up process. Ultimately the project is to see if 'off the shelf' models can be used effectively in film making projects.

Maybe try a car with less curves, but fair play to you for giving this a try 👍

Jerry Bailey I was thinking the same when I started it, however this project is for a book teaser trailer which features a DB7. Couldn't convince the author to feature a less curvy car 😅

Great this, l have been waiting to see how the project was coming on, well done mate

+inkyspider1 All good fun but you got to use what's around in a zero budget production.

0:50 _It's very fragile as well._ - and in view of precisely that, are the efforts worthwhile?

It's a project I've got to revisit. There is another KZreadr who was actually stamping out miniature panels for large scale RC using resin and carved MDF moulds - a far quicker process than my attempts.

@@TK42138 Would be cool to see that. Does that KZreadr form kitchen foil too or does he work with sturdier sheet metal?

When i was a kid i tried doing this with pop cans. I had some weird obsession and satisfaction with seeing cars crash and crumple up.. so to get my fix i would make a rough thing like this then ram it into the wall lol. Idk man just onr of those wierd things

Plan is to press out these panels between cast resin moulds because it takes ages to form them by hand.

I wonder why a company has not decided to make aluminum crash up derby bodies/tops. They could be stamped out in seconds like a disposable aluminum turkey pan. They could be sold in packs of 10.

That's a good idea. Certainly be a lot quicker than push forming.

Juan ruiz Rainbow The model car is diecast metal which is a zinc alloy but the hand pressed panels are aluminium foil from disposable pie trays.

Isn't that how they make pattern parts for real cars?

scruffs In some cases yes. Judging by some car aftermarket panels I've seen, I reckon some are formed by hand over a rough body form - which is why the fit is so bad. High end repro panels are stamped out like original panels but those cost more. Another technique is the use of 'rubber press moulding' where rubber or urethane block 'cold flows' and forces sheet metal into a die mould. That's a method I want to try next because doing it by hand and rebuilding model between 'takes' is time consuming.

You literally have to push the foil into the diecast features of the body panel that needs to be replicated. A better method would be to replicate a real car panel process that uses two-part moulds and a press or bench vice. There is a KZreadr who has made two-part moulds to stamp out alloy panels for 1:8th scale RC. Certainly a faster process than push forming.
