Yes, that's something new.

Did the picture work? If so perhaps you could go to http://217.25.33.49/rejsa/rejsa/userimages/_garage/9711-new_2007-04-05-lcr23st.jpg and have alook at the intended result.

That looks very nice. Do you know what package was used to create the model?

They didn't say. Just that it was a coworker that helped with it.

Professional look to Ali

Hi,

It is quite easy to get a professional look to your work if you are willing to put in the time and care.
Whatever fastener you use (pop or solid) will look good if all of your lines are straight and parallel with your edges. Keep your pitch between rows of rivets uniform. All aircraft panels are riveted at a pitch dependant on the loading of the panel. A good place to start is with a row of rivets that are 1/8" diameter and about 1/2" from the edge of the panel (4x the rivet diameter). Make the pitch (distance between rivets) 4x diameter of rivet. Then run a second row parallel, again at the same pitch but starting halfway between the rivets in first row. A bit like....

Getting the rows straight and parallel will make any fastener look good. As for the smooth fastening of panels - get some dzus fasteners.

have fun

regards

Steve
