Hi mates, How do you make rivets? Raised and embedded ones...
In a large scale like 1/12 it may be appropriate to use punch sets and glue the single rivets onto the surface or drill holes and fill it with 3d-printed rivets. In small scales like 1/144 you may use rivet wheels to make a line of holes. But what about the scales in between? I know there are "rivet decals" from different manufacturers (Quinta Studios, HGW, Micro Mark, Eduard, Archer) on the market but i couldn't find comparisions and reviews to find out how good is the 3d-effect or how flat they are and what about the easy of use and the transfer film still beeing visible. Questions about questions...
So I am asking for easy fast and good looking ways to create raised rivet lines and/or lines of embedded circles.

Most of my scratch builds are in 1/48 and I make raised rivets by using a rivet wheel or pointed object on 0.2mm plastic sheet and then use that as a 'skin' for the model. This is the effect: 100% Scratch-Built Angry Slug – A7V in 1/48! | Album by gorby (1:48)

Alternately, Green Stuff World sell a rivet mould. Go to photos 73 & 74 of this album: Gorby's wondrously weird whatsit – The Fowler Steeplechaser | Album by gorby (1:48)

On photo 19 of the second album did you used the rivet wheel on a very thin sheet so you could "bend" the back side of the sheet around the round surface? It seems so - is it what you mean by "skin"? For 1/48 and the Green Stuff World only the smallest ones might be useable?

gorby
Yes that is what I mean by 'skin'. I found the best way to attach the skin to the model is by double using sided tape, or super glue on curved sections. The usual plastic glues melt the rivets.
The GSW mould - the smallest ones are good for largish rivets in 1/48.

Has no one experiences with rivet decals or other methods then rivet wheels?

Interesting technique gorby, I never thought to use a tracing wheel on card stock & flip it to make raised rivets. Wouldn't the extra sheet of card stock put whatever was in 1/48 slightly out of scale though? Hmm.

shadowlight, I've never personally tried the 3D printed rivets on decals but I've seen some fantastic results. I'm obsessed with detail but even for me that's a bridge too far. I like the rivet wheel for 1/72 well enough because it allows you to bring them out with a good preshading treatment or an oil wash. Even as I say this it nags at me that I cannot apply a wash to the base of rivets & then dry brush highlights to the tops of them! This is becoming a dangerous topic for both my wallet & my modeling future. 😉

I use a rivet punch to put individual rivets. It has about 20 different widths, but can only make sunken rivets. [img1]

Are the shackles generic, or specific to the LVSR?
Could you please provide a link to the model, you show here?

Hello, I am currently building the Tu 22m3 1/72 from Trumpeter and I have noticed that some of the colors in the instructions are completely wrong. Can you please help me and tell me which Mr Hobby colors I can use for the landing gear boxes (both front and the two rear ones), but also which colors I can use for the Kh 15 rockets and for the rocket cabin.
Thank you very much!
