Hi, guys! thanks for your comments! I really do -humbly appreciate it. About those rivets, I thought I did them like everybody else. I use my Olfa blade to cut them off the photo etch fret, and that's when I discovered that the pieces from MCG stick to the point of the blade by, im guessing, static electricity. it doesn't work with Detail Masters though. so, whenever I use MCG photo etch parts, I use my knife to cut it from the fret, put a dot of glue where its gonna go, LIGHTLY touch the piece with the point of the blade, and glue it in place! -it works 98% of the time for me!! For applying Detail Master, or any stubborn photo etch parts, I put a SUPER TINY dab of RC56 canopy glue to the tip of a toothpick, because when it dries, its got just enough tackiness to transport the piece to its spot. Most of the time I use the bright orange bottled Plasti Zap CA glue. To answer how I get the rivets so straight and evenly spaced, I honestly don't know. I have this crazy built in sense I guess. just for the record though, The photo I was using to see where the rivets went, actually showed them not completely straight all the time -this surprised me! -ARE'NT ALL OF US A LITTLE INSANE??!!
