Re: [Origami] Gold plating origami

[Ramsay Cowlishaw]

Gerardo asked:
Do you think it's possible to use gold or silver plating in an origami
model? Can it be done on a paper folded model or would it have to be folded
in some other material? Has anyone tried to do this?

I've contemplated doing it by folding a piece of paper-backed thin copper foil. 
If you make a model that has no "white" showing (i.e., a monocolored model), 
then in theory you could electroplate the copper model with silver or gold.
