Quite sure. Fully recovered and looking forward to getting back to action as soon as I can.

@ Montrano, They aren't expensive if you are in the U.S. HAH LOL, JK.

They are expensive here, especially if you buy them in the amounts I do......

@Skalk, good to see ya back.......


now get to worlk, lazy @$$.....

Looking good man! Lovin the rivets!

Those are some high quality flanges, my friend. Amazing work as always - really jealous of your new compressor

Bit cheeky to ask, but I really like your gangers whenever they show up - any chance we could please get a peek at all your necro minis together? And while I'm being annoying - any chance we could get a rundown on how you painted the vending machine? I'd be super grateful! Would kill for rust effects like that

Don't worry, he'll show us how he painted the vending machine when he puts the Nuka cola machine together......

good argument!

I know, I have a lot to do.

No more than any other Riveteer does, Dave.....


And the Glue shortage has me behind on what I wanted to have done by now....

You should stock up for the winter!

I am feeling a lot better after getting some inspiration (and validation for my ideas) from these pics of old flanged steam pipe goodness.





It appears that I can just connect anything any old way and it will look authentic-enough!
This frees me up to just go OTT with this stuff
Notice the rivety-goodness everywhere too!

Yeah, I ordered two cases.....



Those are awesome photos, Dave. I expect we won't be able to tell the difference bewteen these and your model when it is done.



That isn't photos of your models is it?

No, this is my model underhive


oops, I guess I should have photoshopped out the railing before I lied, because everyone knows, there are no safety railings in the grim darkness of the far future, there are only hazard stripes.

HAHAHAHALOL

appears that I can just connect anything any old way and it will look authentic-enough!

that was my first thought too...^^

by the way... how do you intend to make the rounded bellies on the T-connections... the pipes get thicker there...adds a ton of feel to the parts as well...

I dunno Vik, I was hoping to ignore the pot-bellied Tees and hope no one would notice

Vik Those rounded Tees actually seem to be Valves with the bonnets removed and a blank flange or something bolted in place to cover it, the Tees are the same diameter as the pipe...

THose are actually called clean-outs if I am not mistaken.

busted^^...and if you are indeed going for a steampunky look i wouldn´t ignor them...even if this might mean it would get again tricky...but these small point add lots of character...er...on second thought...on that scale i guess nobody might notice anyways^^

at tibbsy... valves i could imagine...but i think they have a different diameter...

Accepting membership now:



Qualification-

* Must have riveted at least once in the past

* Must have been underwhelming

Like the insperation!

HAHAHA @ Skalk

You'll get struck by lightning again dood, didn't learn your lesson? lol

i think this counts fully well as a willing act of




your local team of riveteers will bring you to the nearest spot of purgeorama...there you will get your rivet to the knee...

DST; You may be right, they could be something different... Looking at the whole assembly I would guess it may be some kind of steam trap with a bypass? Not entirely sure... It could even be a Non-return valve of some kind...

Can't wait to see what you come up with anyhow

If he would have just looked back somewhere in Vik's Thread, Skalk would have realized that he was ASKED to be part of the -=[_,=- In the beginning, but unfortunately, because of his heresy, now all he sees is this:

You think evrything is hearsy Vik! Or are you an inqustor sent back in time?

Oh! You have to add some of these! You will have to GS it most likely, but maybe you could come up with a different way if you have to.



But you definately need the vavles!

i had to look up that illness^^ anyone knows from what game that pic seems to be a screenshot of?

@Vik-The Oregon Trail.
Imagine gakking yourself to death...Horrible way to go.
@Jake- I'm no sculptor virtuosos like you bro

well the first real problem here is the amount of time i would have to spend on the throne...my wife would go libarian poo on me...for i wouldn´t get anything done that day...

You won't have time..


You'll be Dead!

If you remember correctly, I was appreciative of the offer but respectfully declined membership because I knew I did not deserve that honorable distinction. I haven't riveted anything in months and my attempts at riveting have been underwhelming at best.

However, I do have an Ork project planned once I make my triumphant return to modeling, and my riveting "skills" are absolutely perfect for the ramshackle construction process that Orks engage in. I may resubmit a request at that time for the LoER, but until then I carry the shame of failure.
