Hi, does anyone know where I can get some lead foil, I'm wanting to show bullet hole damage to a tool box on a panzer 1V I'm working on. Any alternative ideas also appreciated. Cheers.

Yellow Tail, a wine from down under, still uses lead type foil.

They sell baking trays made of a similar material which you might want to try. I think the properties are almost identical to those of lead foil, sturdy and holds its shape well. I think it's been referred to as industrial grade foil elsewhere.

Thanks for tip, certainly a less expensive option, well worth looking into. Regards Gary
