SPA Modeler

Phil, that is the way to do it. I try to make it better than the last one and not as good as the next one. This thread exemplifies what makes SPAM such a great place.

Doc, they did leave out a very important part of the answer, though.

You need to buy the special Plywood Rivet Tool.

This will help you out immensely in your efforts to replicate riveted plywood on a plastic model.

I have included a photo for you convenience in your search for the tool.

Please note that you HAVE to use a ball peen hammer, because no other hammer can duplicate the divets for the rivets correctly.

A Mossie having rivets....

The thread is ok....I'll just nuke a few posts. I hope no one is offended. I deleted the stuff that pointed back to the other forum. This topic is "spot on" for what a good discussion should be.

Good and subtle intervention LyleW. Hats of for the mod skills.

Couldn't have said it better. That's exactly my stance on the subject.
