How can I model rivets on the plasticard hull to make it look homogenous with the rest of the model?

Thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124465.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124465.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124720.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124720.page GMT Re:How do you model rivets on plasticard? http://masteroftheforge.com/

Poke around on there. That guy actually orders the rivets in bulk from some company and I know the link is on there somewhere. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124742.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124742.page GMT Re:How do you model rivets on plasticard? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2124773.page GMT Re:How do you model rivets on plasticard?

Where do you get small sized ones?

The work of 3 seconds with a new invention called google.

Although anything punched by a 1/16 would be too large for use on a marine sized model. Probably perfect for vehicles and walkers. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2125122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2125122.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2125138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2125138.page GMT Re:How do you model rivets on plasticard?

Yup Google sure is handy! You can find nice cards and stuff on it. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2158/2275943479_a025b88a4b_z.jpg

Unfortunately I wasn't asking Mr.Google for recommendations, but members of this board who actually use the tools for personal experience recommends.

Come now, that undue hostility is a tad pointless, no?

OT: Thanks for the suggestions, does anyone know the diameter of rivets on IG vehicles?

Now, back to the rivets. Hole punches would seem the best way to go to me personally, but since no one can commit to sizes specific to 40k infantry vs vehicles, I may snag a sheet of Archer Surface Details: Assorted rivets in the meantime. It's not like I need an unlimited supply, although it would be nice to have the capability of reliabaly producing my own for less than 80 bucks of tools. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127434.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? imo (would work for a titan though).

Personal I want something a little better so I can do smaller rivets and because it jams quite a lot and I have to poke a cocktail stick in it to free all the rivets.

Still it's an easy to find bit of hardware in most towns so it might be worth giving it a go,]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127467.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127467.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? mm or x/16th rivet on a marine. This is an X-mm on a Land Raider, on a Battlewagon' etc etc.

There are plenty of tools to make rivets out of, hole punches, punch dies, cutting styrene rods, pva drip method etc. But knowing what size tool will give the results you want is a diff story. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127507.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? GW production Ork vehicle models that the rivits are all different and imperial vehciles the rivits are so small. I will post the size and number of plasticard rod that I use when I get home but for imperial vehicles but it is super small. What I normally do on imperial vehicles is just shave off the current rivits and replace them with my own in order to keep the look the same. The only time I mix rivits is on Looted Vehicles or if there is large armor plates being added to a vehicle. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127526.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2127539.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard?
Evergreen Scale Models StripStyrene

Item No 221
Size 3/64" or 1.2mm
I use it for Ork Rivets

Item No 219
Size .025" or 0.64mm
I use these for IG and some SM rivets. Great for rivets on small ork armor plates and glyphs.

Item No 219
Size .020" or 0.50mm
These are for replacement of some of the fine rivets that I accidently shave off.

Any smaller is for some parts and models that are special. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2128404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2128404.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2128850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2128850.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2128880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328292/2128880.page GMT How do you model rivets on plasticard? def not looking to repeat lol!
