Default Rivet Embossing Machine - worth pursuing??

I had a moment of clarity ( or was it insanity???) recently and got an idea I want to run by the RC Universe family.

I have a potential design for a rivet machine that would allow someone to detail their planes in less than an hour. It would allow the wings AND fuselage to be done in minutes. The fuselage could be rotated so that you don't have to remove it in order to do all sides. You would be able to do the rivets in virtually any design you choose with a single pass. You would be able to select the type of rivet (i.e. size, slotted vs flat etc) as the unit will be fully adjustable in multiple axii. The most time consuming part of the process would be the set-up of the machine. There would be manual and powered versions available ( manual version first then powered version at a later date).


IF this could be manufactured at a price between $100 - $150 would you be interested??
