Watching this build closely. Brian your sense of detail workmanship is top notch everytime.

Thanks Jeremy! I got a small update here. I made my drop visor and started the rivets:)

That looks good Brian. Well at least you don't have to put the rivets around the bunk this time. Ed:)

Looks Top-Notch!!!

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Looking really good Brain! I never even noticed the rivets on your other trucks! They blend in so nice. Course once you paint the truck, they should. Are those rivets from scale hardware? What size did you go with? I've been wanting to add rivets to my Wedico, but the cab, hood, and grill sure isn't going to drill as nice plastic! D'oh!

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Looking good Brian. I like the Visor. Is that the stainless you were talking to me about?

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Thanks Guys! Nathan the rivets are from scale hardware. They are the 1.2mm. Mike the visor is from the stainless I talked to you about.

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Thanks Brian, that's some good looking stuff. Just might have to get some.

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Nice work Brian..........My hands shake to bad to drill all of those holes...lol:D

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Did you mash the rivets down Brian? They sure add to any build don't they.

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Thanks Brain. Been wondering what size would be good for my Wedico.

Monighan, those rivets are cast pieces that you drill a hole for and then glue them in place. Dummy rivets, I guess you could call them? :D They are really nice.

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

I used some drive rivets before but they don't come too small. I know a guy who simulated rivets and he made a punch, like a paper punch, hand held,that dimpled the sheet metal too. He made literally thousands punched out of thin brass sheet then glued them to his project.

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

These rivets are pretty easy to use. I'll get some pics of them for you Steve.

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Just to let everyone know these rivets come in stainless that's what I am using on my radiator shell and sizes. Ed
