What neat little tool! What this is a highly machined tool which replicates a 0.25mm circle. It does this by having a perfect circle and sharp edges at the bottom.

[review image] I replicated a line of rivets as a trial by first using a ruler and drawing a straight line in pencil. I then marked the spots for the rivets with hash marks. Using the tool, I placed the end on the hash mark and used a small hammer to strike the end of the tool while holding it perpendicular. I tried pushing it in and it did not make a sharp rivet. Once the rivets were in I erased the line and then put a wash on the rivets.

Comparing this to other riveting tools, this produces a perfect rivet and while not as easy to use as something such as a ponce wheel, it does make better rivets.

Very much recommended. My thanks to Michel, Alain and Freddie of Dragon Models USA for the chance to review the Rivet Stamper.
