Powdered brass (sometimes called "Bronzing Medium") is what I used to use to "gild" the ship's crests. You just dump it into gold size or another clear varnish and then spend the next six months stirring away! I have also mixed it with epoxy and used it to fill in engraved trafolite with very good results. The powder is incredibly fine; it coats your skin a bit like a butterfly's scales.
Have a word with either the Bosuns or the Chippies on base and see if they have any lying around; mind you that sort of work is a bit of a dying art now so don't be surprised if you get blank looks.

Hey Willy,
Charlie and the Girls at Resin sales has the powder, the guys have already said that layering is the go, good advice about the magnet in the key cutting swarf, the steel bits are dynamite on your tools, you can get some pretty awesome pigments at Resin sales as well, they also have a new Epoxy casting resin that doesn't shrink, and takes a finish really well. I'm not being paid by Charlie but they are very knowledgable about their products.

I agree, Charlie is awesome, and the girls sure do know what they are talking about. Might have to drop up and see him.
Did you enjoy the wood show?

Hey Willy,
I did enjoy the show, first time I had a good look at everything at my pace, there were some amazing works presented by the School kids, and the big kids did some things with wood that seem to be impossible, and there was a good array of timbers, and it was nice to see the Tassie timbers being bundled up and taken away.
