Hi, Tim, I tried this and it is nearly photorealistic ferrite core it gives!

Thank you very much, this will help a lot!

However, if you saw my model, I have also the problems with windings on
rotor. When windings are used, in bigger motors ferrite cores are too
fragile, and I need something like high silicon impured tin. Silicon
alloyed is to reduce eddie currents that heat up motor and steal from
mechanical energy, probably, but this is unimportant technical detail.

Any tin foils finishes, please, would save my day.

Marvin
