The usual method over here in the uk is to cut small cubes of plastic strip, pick them up with a solvent laden brush and deposit in the desired poistion. The softening effect of the solvent will give a nicely rounded effect and you get a bit of time to adjust. If its wrong then slice it off and start again. you get some pretty good looking rivets this way <br /> <br />another option is to overlay thin brass sheet with the rivets pre embossed on a firm surface (MDF or a cutting mat) <br /> <br />All the best <br /> <br />kevin
