Trumpeter Herramienta para hacer remaches

Decent solution for riveting on models without buying several different tools. The interchangeable blades allow differing patterns and scales with one tool.

Works as expected!

Para los "fans" de modelos a escala, esta herramineta es muy interesante. Para modelos donde se quiere más detalle, por ejemplo en aviones (Rivets), hace muy bien su trabajo, dependiento por supuesto del nivel destreza de quien la maneja. Por calidad y precio cumple las espectativas.

This is a great idea for a tool and it should have been more thought out. You've got a metal wheel spinning on a thin plastic axle and with limited use, it is possible to see the axle won't last very long.The handle tends to cover most of the wheel and it is difficult to see where you are heading when using this tool. A better bit of visibility would make it pretty darn good if the axle was harder and not soft rubberized plastic.

Excellent product, they work very well. I would definitely buy them again.

Seriously... if you do any sort of scale modeling, from 1:1 all the way down to 1:720 scale, you need to own one of these, if not 4 of them! I attached several photos for you modeling gurus out there to give you an idea of the patterns you can make with the Trumpeter Rivet Maker Tool and how they actually look (Also note I added weathering dust to improve the contrast on white styrene).If you're like me and you do a lot of kit and scratch build modeling then you know how time consuming and tedious it can be to make good looking scale fastener patterns. I used to make small rivets and bolt heads the old fashioned i.e. time-consuming and not very accurately. I previously used a ruled straightedge, marked the tics, and then drilled each individual tic with a pen vise. Now that I have this …

I'm not an expert by any means at modeling, so that's why I bought this Rivet Maker hoping to improve my skills and makes my models more realistic. The problem I found with this riveter is that the riveter wheels are too big to make rivets around edges and corners. Granted, it's hard to make rivets around right angles and such, that's understandable. If the wheels were a bit smaller, that would help achieve a few more rivets around right angles or hard to get places. It's hard to see where the wheel is engraving the rivets on the model due to the design of how the wheel is held in place on the handle. The rivets themselves don't come out too sharp, but that may be to my inexperience with this tool. On the positive side, when making long rivet lines like say on wings or airframe, it's …

If you are a boat modeler and use foil tape to simulate metal/copper plating, this is a must-have tool imo. This tool can do in seconds what would take hours to do by hand. It's not the heaviest made tool out there, but it doesn't need to be.
