to do this you must mark the rivit position on the back of the piece

then i round the end of a nail
and put the card piece face down on a cutton board, and punch each rivit lightly

takes a little practice, but works great when you get it going

the other way i've had success with is make the rivit heads from bakable clay
bake little balls of the right size, cut in half... you usually get one useable rivit per ball

for nut heads i get plastic hex rod in a variety of small sizes, then i slice them off at the right thickness

Seeing this model made me remember when i working in tracks for a model IS-7 tank, It was very difficult to do. Nice job on this model

tanks guys,
Indeed, making the tracks was not a good experience.
@kentyler nice tip ; but I confess, I'm lazy I'm buying rivet
