Here are the rivits I used Phill. They were very easy to use and very glad that I didn't have to do them one at a time.
As you can see, this is the "O" scale sheet and you get 2 of them:

And here are the Archer sheets which you only get one.

Pete,
You must have the patience of a saint to do those rivets.
Looks amazing.
Now I understand why you haven't been back yet to the mortar carrier posts.
