Hi Siara, amazing build man, really amazing.

Was given a 1:72 VIIC/41 for xmas and have started in on it today. Inspired by this and other builds I've begun by Oil Canning first - my gods that's a long process!

However, in doing so I am losing some rivet detail and earlier in this thread I noted you had the same problem but made a tool to fix same.

Could you or A.N.Other please explain the principle and method behind it.

What's the story with this? Is there a link or something to the finished model? I'd love to see it and drool!!

If you're interested, Archer Fine Transfers and I created a rivet & weld detail set for just this very thing... to replace lost rivets & welds on the 1/72 VIIC kit.

Check it out here:

and go to the "Rivets" section.

Hope this helps.
