The rivet detail is the bone crusher on this one. Maybe the clear decal trick will work like on the tread plate.What are you using for a floor? I assume wood planks, but perhaps steel given that this little guy is carrying a heavy load?Lee

The clinician was using them for master model copies for resin casting.

They are nicely priced, and after I ordered them from the Archer website they arrived three days later. While I had hoped to do this one entirely out of the scrap box,like the Critter, I am willing to part with a few coins to try this out.Did the clinic give any good tips for application?
Could you use a punch on the reverse of the sides to make the rivets? Probably a really slow option compared to the rivet decals which have looked very good on other projects that I've seen.
