Micro Mark carries them, in train or decal section. They go on sale sometimes also.

guys..looking for pop rivets...not the drive in rivets...pop rivets are installed with a hand tool or air operated tool....you drill a hole an squeeze the handle of the tool an it breaks off  the small nail in center of pop rivet an expands it in the hole..any other ideals??   oldr-n-drt

You do realize that a 1/8" pop rivet with a 1/4" head showing would only be .010" in 1/25 scale, right?

That would make the hole for the stem, about 1/16" in full scale, only about .0025" in 1/25 scale. Pretty hard to see the difference on a model.

Check Archer details They are resin and are about what you need.

Make them. The 1/25th scale diameter of the rivet head will be 0.01 ( a #87 drill) OR .25mm's. Stack a couple of pieces of clear plastic (1/8th inch or so thick) and use the drill to drill a hole through both pieces. Lay some aluminum foil in between and punch out a circle with the back side of the drill. This will get you as many rivets as you will ever use in a couple of minutes...

That's brilliant astroracer, thanks for that tip.

Thanks Bill, but not really. I use one of these a lot in the shop making one-off gaskets and templates for 1 to 1 cars I am building. My punch is much bigger, but the principal is the same.
