Stick on Rivets...???

Anyone know where I can get these from, I know I have seen them somewhere on my travels but unfortunately I cannot remember where.

Basically they look like sheets of polythene with little glue dots on them and come in various sizes. The dots are evenly spaced in lines on the sheets too, so can be applied as lines direct from the sheets.

I know I could go the whole hog and do them myself using the glue dot method but that would mean a few hundred or thousand rivets to do....and a LOT of patience !!!

I am now finally getting round to getting my Bell 230UT sorted and will be putting some scale detail on it, the rivets would be a nice touch.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I will put pics up when I start the Conversion / build sequence.

Regards.....Mark.

Thanks Barry,

I will give them a try, I do have their website link so that is no problem. I did do a quick search last night but could not find much. The only ones I found were the Vario ones.

As for doing my Bell 230UT, I will be following the build sequence from this site as it has some nice ideas in there for a nice looking Model.

Well you may remember me asking this one a while back,

Now I have found my original source for these:
http://gb.vario-helicopter.biz/shop/...ducts_id=33787

These ones are demonstrated on the very Fuselage I intend to use them on so my order is on it's way. I have seen some mixed reviews as to how well they stick but I think that may well be down to the preparation of the surface they are intended to be stuck on..!! With a little care this should not be a problem.

The example photo is probably not the best but I think it is more intended to emphasize the rivets and spacing rather than looks.

Regards.......Mark
