Hey Kloverzero, here's a question. I've noticed in your pictures the little "steam vent flowers" on many of the surfaces and they bug me, especially in high vis areas. They also get in the way of decals sometimes and I'm wondering if it is practical to sand those off flush and touch them up with matched paint. Or does that "open the cells"? I also noticed that the "flowers" on the flaps were actually inset, Was that done to allow for filling them in or? Thanks, Brad

Okay, this is straight from the horse's (Alpha's) mouth, let the wondering cease!!
P.S.: He said he would post some instructional video at some point as well!!!
"Rivet detail was a bamboo skewer, with the tip sanded flat to 1mm wide circle. Took about ten minutes for the entire aircraft. Press lightly, don't need to puncture. I just eyeballed the spacing, but I guess I'm good at that. In fact I've studied the aircraft so much that I know how many rivets are on the major panels. The spacing is not always the same. Bottom line, use a reference, and just poke the foam gently enough to depress it."
"Painting was same as my plastic models. Dark pre-shading along panel lines, then airbrushed lighter color starting from the center of each panel and working out to the panel line. Because the center gets more layers of paint, it's lighter than the panel areas, giving a realistic look."
Hope this helps guys!!
