Nice start Gordon. Will you be doing the "crusty rusty" finish as in the prototype?

Ray, if you Google in Grandt Line and go to there augmentables you will find all there nut bolts and rivet castings. The rivets come in three sizes, 032", 043", and 063". I mostly use the 063" and on this model I am Also using a lot of there #128 nut-bolt castings. Grandt Line is very easy to deal with I just give them a call on the phone with the part numbers I want and a few days later the parts will be in my mail box. Russ Simpson also has some good nut-bolt and rivets castings. if you can find them. Russ past away last year and I hope some one will take over his line of products.

I just order 60 more pack from grandt Line and here's a photo of the order I got last March. Atlas track nails #2540 and Ozark Miniatures copper rivets # OM09 are also good if you want to drill the holes for them.  Gordon Birrell http://www.flickr.com/photos/77318580@N00/ |

The way you arrange simple shapes into beautifully complex parts is astounding, Gordon.
Fun to look at, too.

Ozark copper rivets? I looked thru their catalog and see no such beast. Can you tell us a bit more about the Ozark copper rivets?
Thanks,
Paul
