    For representing rivets on a plastic aircraft model, the tutorial recommends the following 3-step process: 1. Create the appearance of a prominent circle with volume, rather than a deep incision, by applying different metallic shades to suggest the internal structure and dimensions of the rivet. 2. Profile the rivets and panel lines using washes like Umber Wash to provide shading and definition. 3. Build up subtle layers of color, like a mixture of the base color and yellow, using a brush to simulate the density and parallel lines of real rivets. The process creates an incredibly rich chromatic surface.

    Rivets
    On most occasions, rivets on the external surface of an aircraft are
    represented mistakenly as deep incisions in the plastic of the model. The
    real aspect is quite different, more like the relief of a prominent circle with
    volume. Following is a brief guide for representing this feature.

    1 For a start, working with the base, which here is 2 Another shade, applied on some of the panels in a 3 Shadow is applied to create volume and simulate

    Metal Color 77.712, was used.

    4 Usually, the controls of the moving surfaces are 5 To provide dimension and depth is a slow process 6 The work done so far is completed with Metal

    with Model Air 71.326 IJA Grey Green. Color Umber Wash, 73.203 was used. The tutorial recommended for aging the model.
    ”Aircraft Structures WWI” is recommended for this
    technique.

    7 The panel-lines and studs are profiled with Model 8 Any excess or rings of color left by the Model 9 Following the lines of the internal structure, small
    Wash Black, 76.518. Wash can be cleaned or eliminated with a brush, touches of color, lighter than the base, are applied
    moistened with Airbrush Thinner, 71.261. with ref. 77.706 of Metal Color.
