Victorian Housing Project...so many little bricks!

Hi Chaps,

Thought that I would share the latest build with you...I really need a rest from tiny bricks and slates so the next building is going to be rendered. My 2 foot square board is (very) slowly building up into a street and the first game looms as I now have the figures to begin painting.

Does anyone know what to use as rivet heads? I have bought plastic rod but when I cut it the shape is just not right....it is never flat, what do you chaps use?



Thanks for looking....

  5. for rivets, it depends what size they need to be. I tend to use Peco model railway track pin heads, drill hole for shank but cut it short,

  7. Excellent models. Loving them. For rivets I use lentils from the cupboard, requires a bit sorting.
