Sewed up some cool rudder covers

Had time on my hands and some fabric and some old covers. I think they just look cool more than anything else.

Rudders back on



Some home-made parts in there. Pins were easy enough to make as were the cup shaped bearings.
Now that I see the rudders against the white hulls, they're a bit yellow. I'll paint them some cool color next.

Cleaned them off, sanded them down a bit and re-riveted. Below is the final special tool designed to pull off the rest of the rivet, then fit into a rivet hole then pull out. Not so simple but it finally worked. My tendonitis is back thanks to that (and some other misc movements).
