I’ve seen small plastic modelers use rivet rollers to get a riveting effect. Might be worth looking into. Awesome stuff as always🎉

Man. That is next level realism

Je ne m'attendais pas à ça quand je te disais être impatient de découvrir ton choix de revêtement de ta magnifique ossature.

Whoa! Painstaking werk there…

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

I made mini rivets for mine with mini hammer and bucking bar , come on step it up!

I hope you spent enough time to practice rc flying to not crash this beauty

[@jwc4520]

Pretty neat, but what I build must be light weight as I. Want it to fly. But it would make a beautiful static display.

Damn bud. Loving it! Is that lithoplate or adhesive backed foil?

Hello, I am also working on aluminium planes and wood ones with aluminium skin. What glue are you using to glue the aluminium sheet to the balsa glue??

[@beyondxtream4056]

Is that a "zipper" or "perforation line"?? In reality isn't there more space between each and every rivet??
