Moulds for Rivets

Tuesday, June 07, 2016 - 04:31 AM UTC

Green Stuff World has launched a new tool, in the form of moulds for making rivets. Two blocks with different shapes and sizes

The set comes with two different rubber moulds, each one with two types of rivets or bolts of five sizes, which are 0,75mm, 1mm, 1,5mm, 2mm and 2,5mm of diameter.
Depending on the size, there are from 12 to 64 moulded recesses, which makes quite easy to get a large number of items.

The moulds are flexible, heat resistant up to 240º and can be used with epoxi putties, resins, polymer clay, metal clay, and more.

When used at 1/35 the real sizes would be between 2,65cm and 8,75cm of diameter. Considering how often we have to add rivets for detailing a kit, this tool surely comes handy.

It can be ordered directly from Green Stuff online shop at:

after the rivets are made apply tape then pull from mold and you don't have to sort them afterwards

Seems like a better way than wrestling with the jig.

I dunno. Them rivets and things look pretty thick. You'd either have to sand them down or drill a lot of deep holes to get them to sit at a correct scale height. I prefer MasterClub resin nuts, bolts and rivets. They are available in sizes from .4-1.8 mm, cost about $2.30 per pack and you get, depending on the size, anywhere from 70-200 pieces. Besides, they're perfectly scaled in in size and appearance.

Insane postage to Europe... [/quote] Historex in England carries the Archer Transfers line, bottom of page 10 and page 11 of the search results for 'Archer Transfers' have the Surface Details products. There are undoubtedly other vendors carrying them; they were the first to come up in my search.
