Currently building the F4F-4 wildcat. This aircraft had raised rivets in some areas of the fuselage and also raised rivets in the wing assemblies. How can I make realistic looking raised rivets?
Either a punch and dye set for round rivets (I can lend you one) or Archer transfer raised rivets which go on just like decals but are 'raised' (Obviously) and I can lend you some too...
Look at my posting in AFVs ection for the plastic rivets I added to the Centaur/Cromwell turrets as an example for punched out rivets... Archer rivets are a little smaller....
grazzi Dottore, would really appreciate if you could lend me the punch and die set..... need to make quite a large amount of rivets, so wouldn't feel comfortable using your transfer rivets.
Let me know when it is more convenient for you to meet.
I live at Tarxien...if I'm not mistaken you at Mscala...
Maybe you can pop by on your way down form work...or maybe I manage a brief appearnace to club next Wed (not sure have a match at 8pm). My mob is 79856055. feel free to sms..
Cheers. Dottore
PS dont worry about transfer rivets I have loads and loads...besides they are different than punch type so see the TYPE you require rather....
