Hello,

I'm a bit late with this reply, but if you are after the Grandt Line rivets, they can be obtained in the UK from SB Models, PO Box 114, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, LA13 0WY.

Thanks for that: a few useful 1:35 items as well.
I am now lighter of pocket...

The October issue of Model Railroader has an article which includes a method for making your own.

Basically, buy some plain decal sheet, and place over it a template with holes in it. These can be arranged in lines for individual application or indeed arranged to suit the required pattern on something. Make sure the template is well stuck down around the edges with masking tape, and airbrush paint over it, using it as a mask. Remove the template and you will be presented with DIY decal rivets which you can then transfer to your model.

Hope that is all clear - it is fairly straightforward, really.

Actually, I would be lighter of pocket if their website registration process worked, and if they answered the phone...
