It's about time I showed something I'm currently working on. One of three Schools class locomotives from David Andrews kits.
Close-up showing 0.7mm rivets fitted.
The front buffer beam has been done too
And finally, after looking at a photo of the particular locomotive, I noticed 14 rivets which needed fitting, so it was out with the Proxxon pillar drill (thanks to Nick Baines) and 0.4mm drill bits for some 0.5mm rivets...
Cruel close-up showing some mis-alignment, but then even on the prototype, they weren't straight ! On some members of the class they were ground flush with the valance.
