I picked up a pair from a vendor table at Nationals, last year.

I really like these ones...much smaller wheel and tighter tollerances than the Trumpeter riveter that I have. Much easier to control and see what you're doing!

I've seen posts by modelers who scrounged gears from old mechanical clocks prior to commercially available products.

Really nice work !

Your post ought to get a lot of guys interested in curvy Swedish models............. Big Smile

Oh My! what a beauty !

What rivet tool did you use if I may ask ?

Uhmmm....I don't even know what brand they are. I picked up a pair from a vendor table at Nationals, last year.

Hot off the bench!

Being a Swede...I marked it with the Swedish option. Finished with MM Metalizers and enamels. Mostly OOB, just a bit added to the seat...and a full rivet job.
