Nice tutorial. A few questions.
What exactly is "THE CHOPPER"? Is there a different name for it?

Huh. I have a similar tool made by the same guys - the Duplicutter 2. Looking at The Chopper, I'm not seeing a way to position rod for rivetmaking there. It appears that you're using the tool to make exactly measured cuts in styrene rod - they're all the same width, no more eyeballing it - is that accurate? If so, can you show a picture of how it fits into this rig for doing so?
Good technique. My only (disgusting) take on it is that I will sometimes touch the tip of my blade with my tongue to wet it when picking up the rivet - sometimes I find the rivet will stick to the knife better than the glue for a while. I'm using a snap-off blade with a less pointy tip than the scalpel you're using, though.

I have made over eight 4ft x 8ft ruined city tables in my day and a bunch of Ironkingdom tables that a lot of rivets . But I once built a necromunda bridge that had 1000 rivets . Back then I used a 1/16 hole punch that was a lot easier but for tanks I like my new way better . it works for me . Well good luck on all your future projects .
