I'm not too sure about the rivet-lines, but I definately plan on hatches
for all the holes (actually hatches with hinges that can open and
close!!).  For the turret hatches I plan to have raised areas like on
the
driver's position in front.  Also the commander will need a support
weapon
of some sort, esp. since this is going to be seeing mostly urban combat
with my gaming table.  I think there are going to be missile racks on
either side of the turret, and some sensor domes.   I've been looking at
pictures of the Civet Grav Tank from DLD Productions for inspiration on
the details.
