MICRO RIVETING TOOL FOR MODEL SHIPS HULLS
The Micro Riveting Tool 17x5 mm, belonging to the Micro Tools Collection, is a high-quality tool designed by the technical team of Artesanía Latina. It requires assembly so we have created an explanatory video of the assembly of the product and how to use it for our modelers friends.
This fantastic new tool is used to give realism to the copper finish on the hull of any ship model. It allows the modeler to mark on the tape the heads of the nails with which the copper plates were nailed to the hull in the past.
The commented way of working the hulls below their waterline began in the mid-18th century to prevent mollusks and other marine animals from attaching themselves to the hull , since they cause a serious problem such as reduced browsing speed.
Don't hesitate to buy the Micro Riveting Tool to make your ship model more authentic!

Rivet sizes are nice, but the wheel sort of blocks your view while trying to add rivets. I cut a portion of the plastic off the see where I was riveting better.

It is a fairly simple object, with four “toothed” wheels to engrave small rows of rivets on model aircraft of various scales. The handle is quite stable and does not tire your hand. As with any type of instrument for “engraving” on plastic models, it must be used with a stable guide (flexible ruler) so the only limit, if you can call it that, is that the headboard rather cumbersome, makes it a bit difficult to follow the guide.
For the rest, the quality is excellent and the price is very affordable.
Recommended for all modelers who are fanatical about detail!
