Hi
I am in the process of starting to copper plate the hull of the USS Constitution and hoping for some advice on how to make the plates and bolt heads. A jig of sorts but needs some advice. TIA.
I designed a copper plate simulator by way of using a piece of wire fence.....drywall sand paper and a wash bin roller.
The simulated nail imprints are convincing IMV, and from a scale distance look fine. Here is a batch of finished strips and applied strips.
This method is fast and I think is accurate enough in my scale of 1/96
