So how, exactly, are the rivet lines made?
I see them tacked down on the panel lines and sticking up a bit over an inch and a glue gun, then they're down to the surface level. What is the step that shortens it, just screwing it all the way through the paper, or cutting off a nib under the head of rivet and re-gluing that in the hole made by the full size rivet? All this talk of rivet and unlike the shuttle tiles, I have no idea what the latest state of the art in rivet installation technology is. |

Good to see the proud tradition of Endless Riveting is still going strong.
And how 'bout them leaves? |

I take it she was unaware that a photo was going to be taken? Getting all those facesev en close o correct on a mural is a big task. Faces are hard to draw/paint/color. The only whine I have right now is the fire in the upper plume of smoke go one tick toward orange and the as one tick toward yellow, maybe one or to steps if the control is easy. Has anybody received their T-shirt yet? |

View Quote There is a National Crop Duster's yearly award that is named for my wife's father. He was killed when she was 6 after he landed his plane on a road next to a field he was working and tried to help an illegal alien that had crashed his car into a irrigation ditch and was swept into a culvert. Her father drowned trying to save him. My MIL had to sell their crop dusting business in Yuma, AZ after it happened. |
