Hi all

Thanks for that, but for now I will stick with the panel pin heads as when you are using around 4000, it starts to become expensive, just for looks.

Anyway continued riveting today, and also made a rudder. I did have a brass bought one, but it just didn’t look right, so using a bit of brass tubing I hammered a section flat, then built a rudder around it from thin strips of hardwood, then covered in epoxy resin to water proof it, then painted it. I added a few bits of wood and rivets to look like banding, and when finished I will weather and add rust to look right.

Don
