Rivet Counter

Person who deserves a good slap for announcing loudly at shows that the model is all wrong because of a tiny detail only known to the original aircraft builders engineer and his best mate. The name is derived from their habit of counting the number of rivets on a model and comparing it to the correct number. These are the type of men who have memorized the exact number of rivets on the hull of an A7V (the correct answer is "A hell of a lot"), and are willing to bring the information up at the drop of a hat, even as conversation at a dinner party. They are not always modelers.

RIVET COUNTING ACT 2011
In 2011, the Republica San Torta enacted the Rivet Counting Act (2011), rendering the practice illegal. The exact wording of the act was altered in The Amended Rivet Counting Act (2011) so that it only referred to model kits after the Presidential amphibious limo sank as a result of having the incorrect number of rivets holding the doors on.
