The video is very interesting to watch just too blurry.

[rfbrake3]

I wish the video was a little clearer. It's a little to blurry to see what he's doing.

[mybluebelly]

Doing this in 1:32 is a walk in the park for us 172 squadron people.

[Younowkoed]

Isnt that just a braddle? :P

[flightdeckreviews]

Wher could I get such a tool that you show on this video. Because I need it to make my new B-36 Peacemaker Im going tobuil look beter.

[FRTothus]

I've looked all over the web for these tools, and have come up empty-handed. I looked under MDC, awl, punch, tool, and combinations thereof. I even looked at leather, metal and woodworking sites. Perhaps someone could direct me? Thanks in advance.

[windh]

great video, but a little hiher quality wouldn´t hurt the details!

Did you say...whoopsidaysee? Good GOD man.

[NVanWendy]

Pardon me, but that's "...daisy." as any old fart will tell you.

[phatmonk6195]

haha! the library is greenscreen

[santafe37s]

@NVanWendy lol!

You can make a rivet-embossing tool by pressing down cut-off hyperdermic syringes in various sizes / gauges. Just cut off tip at 90* degree angle, remove plastic attachment at the rear, resharpen tip (maintaining that 90 degree cut-off angle) and mount in a handle...CHEAP and done!

[MrNdru]

I just bought received the MDC tool and its actually really good. The guide ruler works a treat, especially around curves. Sure, its not the same as moulded rivets but it gives a similar effet. I use this with a Hasegawa pounce wheel to get smaller rivet effects.

[FRTothus]

@MrNdru Please tell me where you bought it? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

[dracheous]

If you want a cheaper solution to the MDC tool ((mind you, those guides are nifty)), look up an "awl" tool. Handy little woodworkin' tool that is ;).

[gotarheelz14]

Brett Green is the man. His work is awesome and I just got into the hobby and have found his stuff really helpful.

[herbienbrian]

for some reason I found this more interesting than I should have?

[hyperscale]

Really? Would you say that it was riveting?

[herbienbrian]

ha ha, puns.

[stevenesmond2]

Great video - it is very helpful because i just got the airfix 1/24 scale P-51K mustang and they have screwed up very badly because they didn't put ANY panel lines or rivet details on the wings which brings me to my question. How do you add panel lines to model aircraft because the wing looks very bad the way it is

Thanks

[allenwixted1992]

@stevenesmond2 you could try using a scalpel and a guide like he has there. just scrape a tiny indentation along where you need it. might work? :)

[stevenesmond2]

@allenwixted1992 Thanks a lot man. I went and bought a proper tool for making the panel lines (by bare metal foil) - works like a dream.

Thanks again

Steven

Thank you for taking your time and effort uploading something usefull, it would be awsome if you could take close up to your hands, tool or the plastic model to get better idea of how to do it, Thank you again

[glamterra]

has it been painted? and dont rivets stick out, not in...

[sniperbait66]

For streamlining the airflow over the aircraft skin, the major portion of the rivets are "sountersunk" into the skin. I've used hypodermic syringe needles of a fairly large diameter for 40 years. Cut off square, then sharpened on the inside diameter with a No. 11 Xacto knife blade, so that it becomes a cutting tool/tube. Set into an inkpen body using resin, it becomes a really useful addition to any modellers box of tools.

[jimmyzen]

I thought you need a doctor's prescription to get needles? I hear they make excellent air tubes and gun barrels for 1/48 scale.

[brokencasket]

nice technique but maaaan so tedious...

[taterfamine]

i like the turn at the end.

this guys good. i wish i hd those books for resources.

[worId]

The turn always cracks me up. Such good info in these videos.

[4SCARECROWS]

EXCELLENT.. THANK YOU.

[Akademee]

is the wing already painted or not.

[HtoHe]

It's not, that's just the color of the plastic in this old Matchbox release.

I built this model out of a 1977 boxing, and mine had the same dark brown fuselage, but light tan wings.

[07Clinton]

Name of rivet maker thank you

[lape2002]

MDC tools rivet maker 1/32

[07Clinton]

Were did you get one from and thank you.

[lape2002]

Brett clearly says it at 1:28 'MDC from United Kingdom', I don't have one but you can order these at shopcreator dot com (type mdc rivet on google)

[07Clinton]

Can I buy it from Squadron?

[U48]

"that makes it whoops-a-daisy" lol

great videos :D

[SmiertSpionem]

Riveting!
