A set of riveting wheels for the 1:72, 1:64 and 1:48 scales. The wheel runs over the surface of a model and leaves a regular row of impressed rivets.
Responsibility details are not available.
A riveting wheel restores on a model what is most often missing after the build: a regular row of rivets. It is run over the surface like a pounce wheel and presses dimples into it at a regular spacing, so the area stops looking like a smooth sheet. It shows most on aircraft fuselages, on armor plates, on storage tanks and on bridge and crane structures.
A set of riveting wheels with a spacing matching the 1:72, 1:64 and 1:48 scales. The number in the name distinguishes this set from the other sets in the same line, which cover different spacings. The exact number of wheels, and whether a holder is included, is stated by the manufacturer on the packaging.
First try the procedure on a scrap piece of plastic to learn the pressure needed. Guide the wheel along a ruler or a strip of tape that keeps the direction; without a guide the row wanders and it is hard to put right. Press evenly and rather go over the line twice than once with force, and slow down on curves. Then level the material pushed up around the dimples with fine abrasive paper and clean the area. On thin parts the wheel can be run from the reverse side, and the rivets will then stand proud of the surface. Rivet before painting, because the trace of the wheel shows on a finished coat.
It suits modelers who build aircraft and vehicles in smaller scales and want to give the surface back the texture that the kit does not address.
The model, paints and other tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
