Default RE: Panel lines and rivets

simple method.

Do a lite prime coat. Preferrably have that coat ready for paint on it. Draw the panel lines on the plane with a pencil. Take some chartpack tape and lay it over the panel lines you drew. Spray primer over the tape in light coats. Peel the tape off and then hit the lines with some light sanding to take the edges off. For the rivets......flush- use a brass tube and intall it in a soder iron and burn the mark in place. Will look like a flush rivet. For raised rivet you use a syringe with glue and put a drop in place and let dry. Then hit with prime.

Its easy to do but takes alot of time.
