hey im just wondering how the pros do it. any help is very much appreciated

If you search the forum there is a wealth of info on this. The most popular methods are (I believe) cutting rivets out of plasticard with a hole punch (the one I use), cutting pieces off plastic rod/rolled green stuff or pushing in the reverse to create a bulge.
