I'll follow this and see how it comes together ......... I've looked at buying this kit several times. But I hear it was "awful" to put together........

What I've built so far I would say it is definitely not a beginners kit, I had to remove what locating pins there were on the engine halves as the pins actually put the joins out of line, also you needed 30 pairs of hands to position the halves together correctly. Most items made of more than one part require a lot of sanding when joined together. That said as you can see from peters build its worth it in the end (that's assuming I manage to build it to peters standard)
 
Coming back to the rivet question, have you considered rivets from HiroBoy or similar? I know that will result in a whole lot of pin vice drilling, but the finish is well worth it.o_O

I use similar products on the 1/12 motorcycles. :)

Well I got some rivets, nuts and braided hoses today for detailing her also found an old base from the Christie steam fire engine which was too badly broken to be repaired and anyway I've stolen lots of bits off it for other dios, so thought since its cobbled stones it would be good as a base for the Bentley. I've filled sanded and primed the people for the base as well.
