Hi,

 

I did the first lithoplate panel!! :-) Actually, the second as the first had a too tight rivent pattern but I use it to exercise bending and so on.

 

I got a rivet template from Peter/Airscale! THANK YOU PETER! :-)

 

I added the rivet pattern using the template and a stone bedding tool, DIA 0.45 mm.

 

The bending was done in 3 steps:

  • On a thin rubber matt.
  • On a folded cotton tissue
  • On a piece of soft foam.
I tried to make a close fit so glueing is less stressful.

Glueing brought a problem. The grey primer was dissolved by the solvents of the contact glue and that made it difficult, more difficult than necessary! Lessen learned: sand off grey primer prior to glueing!

I am happy with the outcome of the lithoplating so far. The extension plug has no compund curves ;-)

I am looking forward to airbrush a Reichsverteidungsband in a year or so?! :-)
