Rivet Making Tool For Scale Modeling

A precision rivet scribing tool for re-creating or adding rivet detail to scale models — aircraft panel lines, tank hull plating, warship decks, industrial machinery, and Gunpla armor surfaces. Roll the toothed wheel along a straight edge or scribing guide tape and it stamps evenly spaced, consistent rivets into the plastic in a single pass.

Useful when kit rivets have been sanded away during seam removal, when you're adding detail to a flat area, or when scratch-building parts that need realistic surface texture.

How it works

Each tool head is a toothed wheel with a fixed spacing between teeth. Rolling it along the surface creates a line of evenly spaced indentations. The diameter of each tooth determines the size of each rivet impression. Use a scribing guide tape or ruler to keep lines straight and parallel.

Choose your set

Every individual set includes 3 tool heads in a case. The handle is sold separately — you need one handle to use any individual set (see the handle options below).

• T09B01 — 3-head starter set, general purpose
• T09B17 — 0.3 / 0.4 / 0.5 mm — finest detail, 1/72 and smaller scales
• T09B02 — 0.55 / 0.65 / 0.75 mm — small rivets, 1/72 and 1/48 aircraft
• T09B09 — 0.55 / 0.65 / 0.75 mm — alternate spacing pattern
• T09B03 — 1.0 / 1.25 / 1.5 mm — medium rivets, 1/35 armour and vehicles
• T09B08 — 1.0 / 1.25 / 1.5 mm — alternate spacing pattern
• T09B04 — medium range, general scale modeling
• T09B16 — medium-fine range

Bundles and handles

T09B08 + T09B09 ($44.90) — two sets covering the small-to-medium range in one purchase. Handle sold separately.

6 Sets + 3 Handles — Best Seller ($139.90) — 6 tool head sets plus 3 handles (black, red, blue). Ready to use, no extras needed.

All 8 Sets + 4 Handles — Best Value ($175.90) — every set from 0.3mm to 1.5mm, plus 4 handles. Best value if you work across multiple scales.

Handle Only ($12.45) — black, red or blue, if you already have tool heads and need an extra handle.

Works best for

• 1/72 and 1/48 aircraft — fine rivets on fuselage panels and wing surfaces
• 1/35 armour and vehicles — hull rivets, hatches, and track guards
• 1/350 and 1/700 warships — deck plating and structural detail
• Gunpla and sci-fi kits — adding mechanical surface texture to armour plates
• Scratch-built parts and diorama structures — industrial and military detailing
