As if I don’t have enough stuff to drill, I decided that some more was necessary 🤣 Just a few hundred rivets

After much consideration, I have decided to not go with the rivets. I’m not feeling it, it just doesn’t look right to me. So on to the next faze.

Chris, I don't blame you for not wanting to drill out a few more hundred holes. What about using Archer rivets? No holes, but a slightly raised dome. Does have some expense, but there's no drilling involved.

Unfortunately, Archer closed up shop about 6 months ago. I'm not sure if anyone has jumped into the gap yet but there might be someone out there int he model tank/aircraft universe.

And you are correct, sir. Are you familiar with Tom Anyz from the UK? He prints a lot of 3d resin stuff including rivets, screws, all kinds of interesting things! anyz.io/

I got mine from a friend, and they are too big! Probably about half that size would work. I have decided to NOT to go that route.

Just out of curiosity, how many drill bits would you wear out or break drilling that many holes into White metal?
