the biro method i posted earlier makes a simalar shape

nothing to it i simply keep punching disks until the bit on the screw punch is full of them, i then take the bit out of the punch put it on a flat surface and carefully poke a cocktail stick down the cutting end... 8 times out of ten they stay together in a a little cylinder which i then paint...

this is a really popular model:wave:

looking at that akisima build in that link theres no chance that ill be building this kit in my collection as what ever i do will look c**p in comparison i envy people who can build these big ships:thumb:

thanks ill give that a try the rivets on that t-27 dont look any different from the ones ive been making i did however find a method of making rivets rounder..by using an old biro to make a dent in the card on the reverse side and punching it out

its very easy(it was one of the first kits i built and it was easy then) just quite time consuming as most of the parts are tiny but simple or complex parts are proveided with the kit it looked ok when it was built its now spent 4 years upside down behind the tv with some escaped x-mas...

look what i just found behind the tv in my parents house my cerbrus from papershipwright covererved in fluff and missing all its lifeboats(crew abandoned ship:mrgreen:) i think a re-build is in order it looks abismal compared to what i could do now the first ship i ever built back when i first...
