James,
My friend was nice enough to say "I am going to take that car and put rivets on it because that is what it should have." And that is just what he did. Judging from what I heard a sheet costs there is probably $10.00+ worth of rivets on the car. I am not 100%, but I am pretty sure he used HO regular and HO tank car rivets. I was a little surprised that you can see the difference in the shape. BTW, the H27 got painted at about 5:00 this afternoon. I am a bit more of a believer in them after seeing the car in paint. I will give it a few days to dry and some decals might get put on next week. Of course you can somewhat see the strip of decal film, but there is not much you can do about that. When I first heard about the Archer rivets some were trying to put the rivets on **individually** on an HO car to avoid seeing the decal film. Again, I am not that ambitious especially with this car. That is also why I probably don't have any sheets- yet. That will change at some point.
