If you have an adjustable centre-punch, then there is an easy method to creating rivets on styrene.. Take the side of styrene that you want rivets to show on, then flip it over - mark out where you want the rivets to go and just centre-punch away!! it gets a bit repetitive after a while but hang on in there.. Also, practice on a scrap piece of styrene of the same thickness , so that you can get the right look for your rivets. I have used this method on a 1/12 scale armoured personnel carrier I am currently constructing and so far it is looking pretty good .. ;-) |
