Your jigs for making the rivit heads on the copper look like they are nails or pin but when I look at the copper plates they have outward rivits but your tool you used to mass produce them look like your stamping on the copper side not the tape side so wouldnt the rivits be indented sorry if im looking at it wrong

Well I got one, end result I purchaed a Master G233 pro kit. came with the gun, .2,.3 and .5 size needles with control valve. Hooked it up to my 2.5 gal aircompressor and put an inline moisture trap on it. seems to work great. just started using it and it seems to work great O it is a gravity fed system

Enamle vs Acrylic
gulfmedic1 replied to Timothy Wood's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Dave so you can either use a sand sealer or use a primer or do they do two different things -
not sure if this would work on Acrylic but i found this formula for water based paint on an airbrush site,,,any input? 12oz Distilled water 4oz Denatured Alcohol 4oz Amonia free window cleaner 10 drops Glycerine

Sal I noticed on my copper roll that there is a little glue on the copper itself, did you use the glue on the copper roll or did you add another glue to make it hold

well hello everyone thanks for the comments on this thread, well i got the 18th century long boat for my step dad he was very excited when he got it, i didn't know that he had done model ship building when he was younger unfortunately many years of being a butcher and blacksmith has taken its toll on his hands and arthritis wont allow him to do small detailed work, so he gave me the boat to build so ill build it and give it to him when I'm done in the mean time i still wanted to give him something so i made this sign for his blacksmith shop its the first wood project i have ever done and completed. i used my dremel to carve out the silhouette and hand wrote the phrases then used the dremel to carve the words, ill give it to him this weekend i have to get it sealed first. so it turned out good anyway thanks for all the kind words

Max thanks for the info. I would really like to see what you do for a mini lathe, i have been researching that side project for some time now
-
Mike I agree with you since this is my first model though i would like it to be great realistically i jsut want it to look nice and be able to finish it i only made a comment about the size to try to better understand scale and real world sizes, i wasnt being critical as i build my Phantom im trying to picture the actual size of some of these pieces to help me learm more about model ship building, you build is looking great
