Model Forum / General / Railroads / January 2007

HI guys,

Although I've been a scratchbuilder for many years, I'm fairly new to
'N' / 2mm scale.

Does anybody have a reliable and consistent method for simulating
rivet heads in 2mm scale?

I've tried the traditional methods (glue dots, pin heads, styrene rod
slivers etc), and quite a few materials. The raised detail produced
using these methods would be fine for 'OO' or my more usual 1:35th
scale models but are simply too course for 2mm / 'N' Gauge.

Since I use dry brushing fairly extensively on my models a raised
detail is required, but I cannot achieve consistent results. Perhaps
I'm using the wrong technique, tools or materials here and any advice
would be gratefully received.

Regards
Marshon
