I see the rivet tools are sold in packs of three. Is there any way to guess which set you will most likely use based on what scale of model you are doing or other factors?
Hey, the pitch of the riveting wheel very much depends on the particular aircraft, as the rivet pitch in real life depends on manufacturer, era, type of aircraft etc. however, for most aircraft you're probably fine with just using pitches in the range of 0.65 to 0.85mm
I’m a complete beginner and I’ve only just begun to get to the stage where I need to add riveting to my model. I noticed that the Rosie the riveter tool displayed the scale model size it was intended for. Is there a specific way of knowing what size riveting tool piece to use on the different scale size?
@@TransCisn-t truth is, it kind of depends as rivet spacing varies a huge amount depending on manufacturer and country of origin. Something around 0.65 is generally pretty good for 1/48, 1/32, sometimes even 1/72 :)
@@antmaster79 if you ever need to redo rivets, some basic filler and a bit of sanding is fine :) sometimes if they're shallow, you can remove them simply by sanding alone
Which size of the Galaxy rivet tools would you recommend for aircraft that is in 1/72 range? Both the smaller WW2 planes and the larger modern aircraft. Thanks!
@@AdrianPak24 I can't remember the exact sizes, but the set that goes from 0.55 to 0.85 mm or something similar to that should be good for all things 1/72 :)
You could almost ditch the dyno tape and just mark light pencil lines where you want rivets. The rivet wheel will track in a straight line pretty easily along the line.
You could, although I always like to guide it especially on curved surfaces because it then guarantees a perfect line, whereas going freehand you might slip 👍
Hope you found this handy guys!
Hands down the best tutorial for adding rivets, thank you.
No worries! Glad you found it handy
Very nice, some tips for me to use in future thanks for the great video ! It's nice to push ourselves and try new techniques
Thank you! And no worries mate 😊❤️
I love your videos that are amazing, i wish I could buy some models but they are kinda expensive to ship to my country
Thank you! It's my pleasure :) that's a shame, fingers crossed there'll be a reliable supply chain to your country in the near future!
@@ModellingWeekly I'm saving money rn and i might buy one soon🙏
@@The_holly_snail sounds good! I hope you enjoy the build 👍
Riveting video! I'll look to use this next time I fancy spicing up a build😄😁
I was so close to making a pun in the thumbnail 😂😂 cheers mate!
I unfortunately couldn’t hold back from the overwhelming urge to make a horrific pun🥲😅
@@machmodels don't blame you lol, not often do you get such a perfect opportunity....😂👌
Thank you, that was very helpful.
No worries! I'm glad 😊
Thanks for the great tutorial. I also like riveted models.
My pleasure!
Absolutely awesome tips. Thank you. I'm looking for the rivet layout for the CH-46E and can't find anything. Any suggestions?
I should really buy one, it could be a good way to improve the old trumpeter 1/32 mig 15
Thanks for sharing great vid
Thanks, my pleasure!
Very nice 👍
Cheers!

@@ModellingWeekly Thank you very much. That saved me a lot of time trying to figure it out.
@@joshuamurphy4928 no worries :)

Hello, what do uou do if your line of rivets curves a bit? Do you sand, plastic putty and re do them?

Thank you. I will try to correct some of them then. The galaxy works beautifully anyway

Go in to try this on my EDUARD 1/48 p51 to restore the lost rivets in the fuselage once sanding
Perfect use for it!
@@ModellingWeekly hahah yeah lol I’ll try to keep you updated 👍
Cool 🛩

Hello, I have a question: how many hours does it take you to make a 1/72 scale model without making rivets?
Sort of depends, however it's in the range of 20 to 30 hours of constant work excluding drying times :)
