    Simple rivets.

    A really easy way to make rivets can be achieved with the use of fax paper tear off strips,say for example we are placing dummy rivets onto a wing,just tack the paper strip with Scotch 3M Spraymount,all this does is to be a guide for the rivet placement.

    Next load a syringe with slightly thinned PVA glue ( versatile stuff this ) and carefully place little dabs of glue in a line,when dry remove the paper and you will be rewarded with a nice neat line of rivets,just keep going until done.

    Paint over the rivets and they look real.
