Hi,
I scored them into the metal by marking where I wanted the folds and then placing most of the sheet in a woodworking vice, leaving about 20-25mm sticking out of the vice on the end that gets glued to the fibreglass fairing, with each fold line lining up with the top of the vice. I would then bend the litho sheet along each line and then move onto the next line and so on....hope that makes sense?
I made the raised sections out of G10 circuit board.
Mounting turkey feathers.....I glued blocks into the fibreglass nozzles and then screwed the turkey feathers to those from the inside.
Hope that helps.
