Hmmm, case looks familiar. Thought people would have forgotten about this work many moons ago.

Never did finish it as it was a sort of proof of concept for the side intakes, thematic design, and the rivets.

The rivets you are best to go faux. I used real rivets and some real metal tin sheets. The problem with real rivets is the backside. If you want to place them near the panel edges it presents problems for sliding in and flushing. I had to grind away the back side of the rivets and also fill in the little holes.

Depending on the scale you are going to be using I think the idea of thumbtack heads or using some styrene sheets and punching out circles would work. The styrene however would have a square cut and not curved dome like appearance.

Good luck with the air intakes.

Finally I can post another update - sorry for all the delays... and thanks for the comments & suggestions!

The following is a pix of the other side of the case (non door) I used just the Bondo spot putty and sanded with 400 git snadpaper. I hope to do more this next weekend!

Awsome concept. I saw a bunch of those types of plane (not sure if it was that exact one, and if they were just replicas) in a Flight museum in Germany last spring!

How did you get the bondo to stick in the holes like that? I tried that myself, however was daunted as it keep just oozing through!

Thanks fot the post - they way I did it was to cut a peice of metal out and cover the holes from behind then fill the holes... simple yet effective! And smooth as a babies bottom :D
 
This is going to be a sweet mod. I was really into model airplane building back in the day, but that was a long time ago. I'm looking forward to seeing how this mod turns out. :D
 
well I just finished the base coat on the door - the color is a grey green (RLM 2) and it cam out real nice. I should be able post the pictures this weekend.
 
As promised here a a pix of my ANTEC Sonata door - see how the ANTEC logo has been bondo'd away :D This is just the base coat the side air intake and rivits are next. Once that is completed I will work on the final paint job. I will stay focused on the door as a proof of concept to see how it will look then I will go back to the case and finish it off!
