Okie Dokie;
On this days edition of "Can the skin tard figure it out", we're looking at how rivets look when close to panel lines.
The wing main spars I discovered are NOT tapered as shown in the old template yet are straight. That good, yet they also contain and are flanked by a tremendous number of rivets so an excellent place to discuss this. The problem is where panel lines meet often the rivets are very close to the edge.
Now we have a choice simply due to the bmp size constraints. That being in cases where to be to scale I would need a "half pixel difference", I need to choose if I should place the rivet flush to the edge of the line losing the gap between them.....OR.....Offset them one pixel placing them a tad too far away.
Look at the starboard top wing spar.....
Test H has the correct spar and "internal" rivet spacing to it....However it has the 1 pixel gap on the external flanking rivets. Test I has an incorrect internal spar so disregard it....However it shows how the external rivets look when placed flush so representative of that condition.
