View Results I'm considering a computer system that would be capable of creating "simulated" rivets in thin brass or styrenne. So these are not real rivets but more like dimples that you see on G scale models. The system could handle up to 18"x24" sheets. I was thinking it would work like this: - To use the service mail in your brass sheet or styreene plus another small piece of the same thickness. The extra piece is so I can guage the rivet size to your specs on your material. - Specify rivet: -width -depth - spacing (center-to-center) -scale you want - 1:29, 1:20.3, etc. - starting position from the top corner - e.g. x and y starting position on the sheet is 0.333" (x) and 0.25" (y). - Turnaround would be pretty quick since this is computer generated I was needing a system like this but can't justify the cost for my projects. But I thought if others are interested in a service like this then that could help pay for the system. If you are interested in something like this then what do you think would be a fair price? Based on linear inches? Circles (e.g. a smokebox) are generally more complicatd than rectangles? Number of rivets? Flat price per sheet? Other ways?
