So I'm on the micromark mailing list and just got this

hope all imperials and orks find this useful
p.s. it's on sale this week or maybe longer

**MeanGreenStompa**

a broken image? not overly...

**cainex1**

sorry, never posted an image outside from a third party. Everything appears to be good now

**Dronze**

I can see them just fine... and those actually look pretty nifty.

Are they just flat decals, or are they actually raised?
More to the point, do we have any defined scale shots for those?

**cainex1**

Forgive me if I'm not the newsiest news guy ever
On the rivets, I haven't got a chance to order yet but they are raised and are at O scale so should look right for vehicles. I think there are smaller rivets on the sheet
and here's a link

Oh, I see, very useful, especially given the number of small companies making turrets that folks want to stick on chimeras that are currently smooth metal effect.

**Grimstonefire**

I will follow this with interest as I will be needing something like this.

They are raised, but far too fine to go on hamfisted 40k models.

While I don't agree with you, Agamemnon, I do appreciate the consistency of your message.

That being said, this seems a brilliant product.

**warboss**

Are those just decals or are they textured/"bumpy"?

**Necros**

Wow, seems really cool... you apply em like normal water decals, and they're normal bumpy rivets?

These guys have been doing it for a while, pretty good rep too. Have to price compare though, they are a bit pricey -

I'm not being facetious. The height and shape of these rivets is inconsistent with the scale of those used in GW's sculpts. They're considerably finer, and finer spaced. I don't know this decal technique could even cope with rivets of that size.

Where these would be great would be on some of the older models (eg. Armorcast, etc) that some hobbyists like to "super-detail" - e.g. I'm working on a Armorcast Baneblade at the moment that I could really use these on.

Also, for scratchbuilding?

Agree, however, that they could be problematical if there was already a rivet pattern on the model...

I'm with Agamemnon on this one. It's a good idea, but won't scale with 40k. 40k rivets are, if scale was right, the size of dinner plates.

**Agamemnon2**

BTW, for riveting needs, I recommend the metal ones by Scale Hardware. They really are the bee's knees.
