RE: Flite Metal... Help!!!
I found today that using a small nail punch and the top flight rivet templet I can make a nice looking rivet. The nail punch has a concave end that I softened the edges with on my buffing wheel. When I poke the punch throught the templet hole and give a easy twist I get a great looking rivet. Actaully goes pretty fast too, making about a rivet a second including transfering the templete.
I obviously need more training on complex convex curves. I wasted many feet of the foil trying to cover difficult spots with no success. Hope you get that video done showing lots of examples of covering wing tips and round cowls at the front where it rolls over and back into the engine opening. Bulbous shaped points are the hardest I found.. ie leading edge of round wing tips, cowls etc...
The pictures you attached to the thread just now are too small to view and I have a 21 inch monitor. To seal details the pics need to as big as the monitor screen. The bird dog is ok, but I cannot see details such as the rivets. I tried saving the pics and opening them with a picture view where I could inlarge but the pic quality is too low.
