I have just bought a used LGB 95160 arch truss bridge which needs a repair and for detail I need a dozen rivet heads. Can anyone help, please?

Hm thinking the a bit further, pins could work. Need holes of a fairly small size with most of the pin cut off leaving say 3-4 mm length (enough to fill the plastic) then superglued in place. Ok they may rust depending on metal used but a better choice of sizes and lower cost just looking through an average sewing basket if one available. If not cheep enough in a sewing shop.

I use 1.00mm self adhesive half pearls craft/nail art that I found on eBay. Although 'self adhesive', take that with a pinch of salt and use a drop of some other appropriate glue.

I think I'll give those a try. Miniature rivets won't work because the repair is thin material and needs to show rivets on both sides, although as one side is largely obscured by track no one would probably notice if rivets on that side were missing.
 
I use nail art pips found on eBay you get a lot for a little money, come in various sizes half round to full round.

That's a little ambiguous, coming from someone who does Cad work..
;):p

Shirley, as we are talking about a 3-dimensional object, they will be a hemisphere?
A 'full round' would be a sphere? :wondering::nerd:
:D

A bit more searching and you'll find 1mm or hexagonal gems if you also want bolt heads.

I find a cocktail stick to apply a drop of thick super glue fixes them to virtually anything

Must be my age - I saw nail and assumed you guys were talking about oval head, clout head, round head, fire out of a gun types of nail! (so you can imagine my confusion about nail art gems…)
