I'm going to try a pop/soda/soft drink can.  I'll cut it open, flatten it, draw the shape I need on it, cut and fold, fit in, paint, and decal.  I'll let you guys know how that works out.

Excellent choice. I never thought of that!!!  
"Nature" offers the most incredible sources of raw materials to modelists!!

Go, Supertom, Go!!

Certain people on this site also swear by the little plastic twist-tie things from bread loaves and such.

Tom, what brand/type filler are you using?  It looks nearly radioactive/fluorescent!

I used soad can aluminum for my Petit Pet engine shroud. It's a very easy to work with material, since it's so thin (almost as easy as cardboard...) and will cut easily with scissors.Be careful cutting or manipulating the cut pieces [/color]... it can be very sharp and will cut fingers easily.

Getting the paint off is not easy, either. Acetone worked very slowly; I ended up sanding the paint off. Or you can use the shiny inside surface and hide the painted surface under a coat of hobby paint.
