My first self-riveted alox modification

Is been finished a while. Long I have avoided to make riveting. Now I am happy that I have learned. Alox solo 93mm

That looks outstanding!
Once it warms up a bit I will head out to the garage with the intent of some modding.

I hope with my first "eventual" Alox mod my peening can come out half as nice. :tu:
Gonna make an 84mm Voyageur out of a Golfer and Bantam. Turn whatever's left into a Waiter.

Did you sand/polish the brass once you were done?

Those scales are amazing and you did a great job on the pining.

@all: Wow, so many positive feedback! Thanks! :hatsoff:

@Hyatt181: I have used the rivet puller on the photos. The Dimples I have made with a proxxon milling bit.

@Syph007: Yes, anodized aluminium.

@fattsgalore: Yes, I have the brass heads polished to the finish.

That's one of the best looking solos I've ever seen, great job on the scale making and peening. :hatsoff: They look better than most factory pins. :tu:
