Scotties Bofors 40mm AA

Works for me mate, a 4lb sledge has often been my trusted companion!

More magic to keep me glued to the screen. The axle is a model in its own right.

One of the legs of the base has been detailed up. The radius on the end was completely wrong so it was reprofiled using tube. The details on the top were redone as they were very soft. Rivet detail was then added.

bloody hell that's some riveting, Paul!
no wonder it was a while between posts!
 
Looking great. That's an awful lot of rivets 😁
 
Cracking bit of scratch building Paul 👍

Hi John, they are not all individual they come from a company the name escapes me at the moment. They are on strips. You soak them like decals but it takes some getting used to just how long to wet them for or they float of the backing film not enough and they wont release. After a bit of trial and error I found a method that worked for me. And after knocking a load off during handling I sealed them in with some clear acrylic paint. Then left the section to dry over night.
