If you've never done it email me off line I will fill you in instead of wasting band width. You can make double rivet rows like this as well and add a rib in to use for a hopper or gondola as well...
IMO, you won't be wasting band width. I would welcome seeing the "twin XACTO blade" method described. As far as I'm concerned, modeling techniques are always welcome.
