I know Spyhunter2k was in there first - hats off to him! - but if there's a chance of two, I'd bite the hand off you for it
(That's an Irish way of saying I'd be very eager indeed!)

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!
how are you guys getting the hyper polish on these?
Damn I gotta look for some of that as well. I'm a sucker for weathered props, but this hero deserves the mirror gloss of an Elite!
Wow Nils-amazing work
I think you should do a display case run buddy

Here's mine, I made a display case to it as well. When the arrows and the small, black box is glued on, it will be one of the finest in the glass cabinet.

PM sent - thank you thank you thank you!
I'll have to see how yours turns out... I used Brasso and it's clean, but not that polished look...
Yeah... when I started researching what the best ways of polishing aluminum was, a lot of the hits I kept getting were from automotive sites... which makes sense since a lot of 'show' parts are made from aluminum; i.e. rims, etc.
alot of people use Mothers or Blue Magic. your end results will vary depending on the original finish. to get it to a mirror finish you will probably have to wet sand with high grit sand paper. The polish only takes out light surface scratches and removes oxidation making it shinier.

@ Spyhunter and Pnag:
Sorry for the delay, guys - real world and my job workload didn´t gave me the needed time to finish your parts sooner. I only had time to work, eat and sleep.
But today:
I made it a sort of satin finish, if you want a whatever grade of more or less shiny, it should be easy doable on your own. Just put it with a threaded rod and 2 nuts in a drilling machine/akkudrill/drillpress and sand or polish it to the grade you want. It´s drilled to allow a 1/4" rod to go through.
Your parcels are packed, now. Later i will write the labels - and then ask my wife if she can deliver them asap to the post office.
Hope you still get them in time to put them under the tree. Merry X-mas .
