Hi Erwin,

Here is how I made the rivets so I could rivet the tilt frame on my 1/16
Kübelwagen:

Works like a charm for forming uniform rivets. If you just want the head, it
would probably be best to countersink a hole for the rivet's shaft so you
don't have to get the back perfect smooth before gluing in place.
