Adding Nail Holes

Once the model is completely weathered I go back and add nail holes using this neat little tool. I just line it up and with my pin poke some holes. I do not add these to all the sides if the model is only viewed from two sides. I can always add more holes later. The tool has a block strip on the bottom to keep things square and a ruler at the top for making sure your rows are spaced right.

If you attend the Structures Expo held in New England from time to time, there are some neat little freebies that one receives from the vendors. This one from Atlantic Scale Models is a nice tool that I use a lot. It lines up rows of nailholes for me...George Dutka
