Seeing how some modelers found my ad hoc riveting tool of interest and having been pointed by others to some references on the web about riveting I'm sharing those so everybody can benefit. Check them out:

Re: Ma.K Armored Raider Pk.f 85 Falke
I got some preliminary steps done before laying down the camo.
First a metallic undercoat in view of the chipping effect in strategic areas: where pilot and maintenance crew step, along panel edges and especially on the antigrav pods which double as emergency landing gear.
Next masking liquid applied in said areas.
Last step before the camo: pre-shading.
Tomorrow I'll get down to business!

Very very cool - I think the chipping effect will work well...

Thanks, Portman!
It took 2 evenings to lay down the underside color. It's rather carelessly done but that's because not much will be visible once the model is fixed to the base.

Rather rushed!?!? - still looks better than my painting!
what colour are you going to paint the anti-grav engines?

Re: Ma.K Armored Raider Pk.f 85 Falke
Thanks! I won't paint the pods in a different color. I toyed with the idea for a while but decided against it in the end as just it's just extra work for no real reason. Most of the paint on the pods will be ripped off by the crash landing anyway. For this and other reasons they'll just be the same color as the underside.

LOL. Had the same thoughts when I reached that point of the build. Looks VERY good so far.
