Has anyone else heard of these rivet makers made by a Mexican company Greif? You soften a plastic tree with a lighter and press the plastic into the metal Greif plate. Impossible to find but really useful. I have a couple (I'll take photos if anyone is interested), been looking for a flat rivet maker, have to contend with this.
A paper or leather punch is about the best method for making said rivets. I like the sliced rod method as my rivet of choice.

The punch and plasticard method is fine so long as you merely need undetailed flat rivets that aren't too small. But I'm definitely interested in whatever is up Zinge's sleeves (metaphorically speaking).

Yes, zinge, just to reaffirm, we are NOT interested in anything up your pant leg though (i.e. no ass-casts please) thanks

They're pretty tiny, you can't change or select size, they all come out around 1mm (craft punch from Walmart or Michaels).
Below are the rivet makers I was talking about, you can see how sickly small you can make them (how about 1/32"?). And I was wrong, I have the flat, round and square, I was looking for the hex... Hex bolts are preferred for Ork in my opinion.

second that question...tho to not overly stress the drailing of zinges thread you could answer that question in my thread perhaps?
Great point, I didn't mean to Hijack the place!
Yes, you just heat up some plastic with a lighter, press it into it. It is some small and dries instantly, you then just chisel it off with a hobby blade.

I like the idea of this tool - it would mean you never run out but it looks a bit of a faff. Any idea where to get the tools from - my googlefu is weak this morning.
Also my idea - way better than this
For a bit of context as I fear I may be over hyping my idea.
