At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

When i saw it i had visions of people walking around exhibitions with one in their hand looking to find fault with some exhibitors presentations.

Where the fun starts is trying to put rivets on RTR models that should have them but don't. Mainly Trains when in business sold nice riveted brass strips for wagon strapping, I miss them. Rivet decals/transfers come in a variety of sizes, go on in a jiffy, and are not oversized. You want one of the 57xx locomotives with riveted pannier tanks? Or a Hornby Railroad Castle with riveted footplates?
Brass model rivets are best done with a half etch, although older models expect you to rivet away for hours on end with less than obvious indentations and questionable locations.

I've just checked out Narrow Planets website – the custom etched nameplates look good value, and very useful!
