You might be a rivet head - HUMOR

[Paul3]

If you think that even a factory painted brass model just isn't accurate enough...you might be a rivet counter.

If you know what's wrong with every one of your models...you might be a rivet counter.

If you look at a freshly finished model of your own construction and think, "I can do better than that."...you might be a rivet counter.

If you research the prototype to more accurately recreate the "real thing"...you might be a rivet counter.

If you think that "good enough" isn't...you might be a rivet counter.

At night, you stick your eyeball up to a storefront window, all lit-up by its LED, to check what people inside the store are buying...

...You just might be a rivit head -- After all, you wouldn't want to miss a sale!

You might be a rivet head if you get up at 3 in the morning to be the brakeman of the morning local on your layout.

If you refuse to accept  that On30 is a resonable compromise for American 3ft guage, then you are a rivet head.

If you strip the decals and paint off your brand new $500 locomotive, because it "just didn't look right"

You may be a rivot head.

If you berate another modeler about the stack on his steamer being six scale inches shorter than that of the prototype you might be a rivet head.

If the "S" channels, unique to PFE underframes , have a silght G shape because of your'e failure to reproduce to exact specifications that subsquently causes same to abandon the effort and take up Inca basket weaving in fustration, you might be a rivet head counter.

If you very carefully measure the  Elesco FWH 'bundle' on your HO scale Rio Grande 2-8-8-2 and find that it's a scale foot shorter and six scale inches smaller in circumference than the prototype which causes you to pack the locomotive away never to be run again on your MR--well, you just MIGHT be a 'rivet-head'.

Think of this as the infamous Jeff Foxworthy schtick of "You might be a redneck". 

Everyone remember this is just for fun and add your own humorous additions.

"If you shave off the cast on rivets and reglue them in the proper place.......You might be a rivet counter!"
