Hi I'm on with a few ork conversions and I'm on with the detail and I've seen on other conversions that instead of rivets they have bolts (hexagon shape ) and I've looked and got no where can anyone point me in the right direction on no what I need to purchase
Thanks a lot christiesexbomb1991

If you're rich, Grandt Line do every sort of bolt, including hex. http://www.grandtline.com/products/mrr/mrr%20details/augmentables.html

If you're poor, the standard technique is to find some styrene hex rod (Plastruct and other manufacturers make it) and carefully chop off thin slices.

One of the ork choppas is an axe with hexagon bolts. Make a Green Stuff press mold and you can then make as many as you need. You might even be able to press them into a sheet of Green Stuff so you can make a dozen or more (however many you require) in one go but you'd have to be careful as that could lead to loss of detail but then you'd likely still get a decent enough hex bolt anyway.

Or if you only need a few bolts, slice the hexagon bolts off the ork choppas.
