Demi, the basic method for the rivets is drill hole - insert plastic rod - glue - cut to length - sand round - repeat. Angel's patience helps. After the first few hundred, you get quite quick, though. Did I mention patience?

few hundreds? that may be the key: I used to drop adding rivets after adding a dozen of sth like that :P
and what's that whole patience? is that resin? and what company casts it? :D

There are something like 1200 rivets on the whole model... a dozen would be sufficient for six track links  :lol:

I think we confuse two things here: the master (shown earlier in this thread) was built by me and a friend of mine, the tank in the last pictures is a resin cast by Pardulon (also me). It is available from the link Chris posted. The patience part was only required for the master model, none is needed for the assembly of the kit  :wink:
