Hi all,
I’m making a turret for the USS Monitor, and have made a new one from scratch. Does anyone have any idea on how to make the raised turret detail? I am trying to make it as accurate as possible. Also, does anyone have any idea what is on the top of the turret? I have seen like a grid pattern of girders or something close…any idea on what material to use? Thanks in advance for all your help, everyone has been a great help!

Hi,
I know of three places you can but scale rivets, just pick your size, and start gluing.

With the consideration of rivet I think the Nautilus is pretty well covered. THere are several threads there that deal with purchasing and doing your own rivets.

In the past I’ve used stick pin heads. Drill a hole, cut the pin so it’s just the head and a short bit of the pin, install with glue.
