Ah, thank you.  As it happens, I have plenty of baking powder as I tend not to buy self-raising flour and use plain with baking powder added.  And being as flour is hard to come by at the moment, I may as well put the baking powder to good use.

Thanks for that -- have some baking powder but am very very short of flour -- only enough to make 2 more loaves.

Wonderful modelling Kev!
Don't know how you manage to get such fine detail in such a small scale.
You do realise you have a ready-made article for IPMS Magazine there...
... I look forward to seeing it in print in the not toodistant future.

Respect, bruv,
Biggles

Hi All,
Thanks for your comments.
I have now got the rivets added, the RATO pack,  and its mounting.
Also have managed to give the model a unifying coat or Mr. Surfacer 1500.
To make the rivets, I used a tip from Zak in his WWI builds. I used Kristel Kleer and Green Food Colouring ( so I could see it!) applied little blobs on a fine piece of micro rod where I wanted them. I had to wipe off a few that were too big, in wrong place.
However I got there, and once covered by the Mr. Surfacer looked as I wanted.
Some Pictures follow:-
Cheers,
Bigkev

 
I hope my next is always better

Really nice, great attention to details, I prefer red food colouring and a syringe, but each to their own.
This is going to be worth an article for the IPMS or one of the modelling magazines.

Hi Guys,
Thankyou for your comments, much appreciated.
I'm in the process of painting now, but won't bore you with paint application.
I'll post when near to completion.
cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

Incedible detail Kevin. I agree with Dave - you have everything for that magazine article.

I know you enjoy the painting process, I wish I did, it is not something I find easy.
Colour, a real nightmare.

I've been thinking of rivets lately too and was wondering how to do this.  What syringes do you use Zak and where do you get them?

I bought some a few years ago, on line, they came as small syringes with needles, sorry but I have no idea where from.
Know ant diabetics, they may let you have one or two?

I do know some diabetics so will try them.  Great information, many thanks.  I heard some folk talk about using CA glue for rivets but I can  imagine it's a lot more forgiving with the crystal clear stuff.
