Master Tools Hobby Rivet Maker

The Master Tools Hobby Rivet Maker is a modeling tool from Master Tools intended for creating rows of rivets on the surface of plastic models. The tool has an ABS plastic handle and a toothed wheel that rolls over the surface under pressure and presses a regular row of fine rivets into the plastic. It comes with interchangeable wheels of different pitch, so the density of the rivets can be chosen to suit the scale and the subject. It is a tool, not a kit.

Use

• it serves for restoring rows of rivets that have disappeared after sanding or filling, and for creating new rows to refine the detail
• run the wheel with even pressure along a straight edge or a strip of tape so that the row of rivets is straight
• choose a wheel with a pitch matching the scale of the model
• try the technique out on a piece of scrap plastic before working on a model
• particularly suitable for aircraft, but also for other vehicles with visible riveting

Who it is for

For modelers who want to detail the surface of their models realistically and restore rivets lost during work. Suitable for more advanced modelers and patient beginners.

Work carefully: the wheel has sharp teeth. Run it away from yourself, press evenly and keep the tool out of the reach of children.
