OK, i am in the process of making a terrain piece/doomsday device that i am want to look like it is covered in metal plate. I have basically covered a cd in pieces of plasticard but would like to have some rivets to complete the look.

The only methods i have thought of so far are a: using tiny balls of GS to make rivets or b: use this sheet of platic rivets from Bits and Kits

So, does anyone have any advice for me? i have had a quick look through a search of the tuts section and couldn't find anything.

Hmmm, due to my laziness i may have to just buy the rivet sheet afterall.

Thanks for the responses peeps.

Those apparently work well, haven't tried them myself but apparently they are handy.

These look great but i'm not sure about spending th emmoney to get one shipped from the US when i might only use it for thsi one project..........on the other hand it is another funky tool to put in my box. Hehe.

Ordered the rivet sheet. i woudl get the tool from the US but i need the model done in the next week or so which might be probem with postage.
