I doubt it, that'd be a bit strict for an informal gathering of modellers
though rivets are positively encouraged where appliccable ^^

Well if I get in later on in the year (a month or so, maybe), I won't be doing much because 90% of my conversions are infrantry, being space marines as well, so very little room for rivets.
Rest assured though, if the opportunity for rivets arises, then I will include them ^^

That and how you make your rivets helps too, inventiveness is the key! Dave can do all plastic rivets from stuff he cuts with his selection of tools, Vik is the master of cardboard rivets thanks his punch-o-matic, and I did the liquid rivets as part of the group. Others have done any of the variants or more. Some also know how to get the sheets of "rivets" that are out there on the market

Great for metal, but not plastic or resin minis! But cool, strips of rivets!? show us when ready to sell them!

as most riveteers are following this i think it is high time to start a great tutorial article about making rivets... with pics to show a step by step... i know dave did that already with his rods methode... and shaso you have uploaded numerous pics of your highly developed glue drop methode as well... would be nice (nods at dave) if the images of these methods would be uploaded here on dakka to bring them all together... i think this would be a really cool gift to the whole modelers scene here and i think it is our duty as riveteers to finally spread the word on riveting...after all it is not a secret society we are forming it is a lifestyle that needs to be formed into a mission!!!

lol...shrike i think that is a perfect way^^ but hey... if you are then a riveteer, your threads will be "exalted" too^^

as a matter of fact... about the business of riveting... today marked a new era of riveting... now i have masterd shaso´s aproved and tested to perfection methode of glueriveting!!!

i hereby present to you the first chapel of the church of rivbeting:

(note it is still majorly in WIP stages but the general idea and direction is showing through....)














and as it is already st. valentines day in some parts of the earth...my wife and me exchanged some valentines presents... i got a box of pyramid cake pieces...and some tupperwear small boxes...the initial one was also filled with smarties...and after the kids and us emptied the sweets into our bellies this slogan^^ was found:

which reads in denglish (german/english mix) "I niet you" a pun as it could be read i need you...but the pun lies on the NIETE= Rivets... so i guess my wife accepts my "interest" in rivtes^^



and because as i like to bring forth some hints and tips for making rivtes for new possible rivetsaddicted... i hereby show a bit of my trade... i present...the rivetmaker:


just an xacto knife handle with a needle instead of a knife... not really rocket science, but someone has to think about tools and i do that from time to time...and the thingy works like a charm when it comes to my cardboard rivets...

cheers, vik

Did Mrs Domm get an "I see what you did there"?

Love the church, in all of it's rivety glory, though the altar/pulpit/whatever the hell it's called (no pun intended)'s top seems slightly to the side of it's other half (again, no pun intended)

Idea for the church- how about all the members of the LoER make a model guardsman to represent themselves in the church of riveting?
Dunno if it could be like waagh! Dakka, with a virtual group, or send the models to you...
just an idea ^^

oh the pulpit is but in it´s very early stages...in fact it is built like the steamboiler in the right side from leftover wooden stirer bits i had lying around for the wall building... so it will get a lot of work done and also it is only resting on that bigger piece of wood for the general feel of it...

and no...mrs domm doenst get a "i see what you did there" it gave me a warm feeling all over^^

and by the way... there is an alter planned in the future...in the form of an anvil!^^
