I'm afraid my hammer was too big'n heavy !

I hope my new set will arrive tomorrow so I'll be able to rivet on coming weekend.

Update 3 :

Not much of an update friends, I made it until step 3. The parts need serious cleaning up (mold seams).

Best regards !

Hey friends, finally I'm back in bizniz with my newly arrived rivets punch&die set.

I've tried to find clear and accurate references but each and every LCVP looks different. Even WW2 era black/white images show differently riveted LCVP's.

I went for the boat used for Saving Private Ryan. Found a couple of pics of that one.

Nothing to worry about, and to be clear I'm not a rivet counter so here we go.

Update 4.

Next to do is the other side and I think things will start progressing more once done this job.

Best regards ! AG
