Cleaning up projects on my workbench.

I have had several partially completed projects sat there taking space and they needed to be cleared off.  I took the last week finishing them off so they can go in the terrain boxes.
First is my Ainsty truck. Nothing special.

Next is a Reaper Bones Blacktooth terror.

Lastly are six drop in interiors for use in my sci-fy buildings.  Mix of parts.  Hirst arts, Crooked dice, Black Cat Bases, Antiocities, mantic and others.

Hope you like.

Rivets

How to make rivets keeps coming up on different forums so I figured that I would show some techniques that are not usually shown.  This is not an all encompassing list.  Just some techniques that usually are not listed.

The Ponce wheel can be used to emboss lines of rivets onto a surface.

The easiest method is embossing the rivets using a scribe.  Just push a scribe into the reverse side of the material to put the rivet onto. 

Glued in place.

 

Next is a leather punch tool.  This one can press multiple sizes of rivets.  Again embossed on the back of the material.   

Glued in place again.

   

Gold shaping cups

This is what they look like when you purchace them.  

 

The next two are commercially available punches.

Primed and given a quick wash

 

A quick tip on gluing small parts. This works with both superglue and poly cement.  Use self threading sewing needles.  Use a pin vise to handle the pin and dip the tip of the self threading needle into the liquid glue.  The shape of the eyelet will hold a drop of glue in place by surface tension.  This drop can be applied to an exact point where you will apply the rivets.

Frostgrave stuff

Just a little magic circle to use as scatter terrain for Frostgrave.  Made of foamex with colored resin effects.

With an unfinished model for scale

Started the straights.

So far this project has been a bit of a pain in the butt.  I took a week of leave to get the project done and the stars aligned to stop it from happening.  I have so far managed to finish five out of the twelve feet and I am having to finish the project up in slow time.  Each section has been slightly warped and needed some work.  Here they are just needing a bit of dusting to get the excess static grass off the water. 

What they look like together.

With my bridges.
