I've built all 4 of the Canon Komatsu vehicles, they're very nice to build. You've done a nice job on them.

Just one small criticism, post your pics at a lower resolution, they're huge! (takes forever to load) 1024x768 should be alright.

But keep the models coming!

There's a heap of different options for doing that, but for most of my "nuts" I use a rotating leather hole punch with 6 different sized holes. For larger circles i use a hand punch set that requires a hammer to punch out the holes, see both below...

If you want to get into even higher detail, or smaller sizes, you can go for laser cut rivets/bolts/nuts which is what I'll be using for my next model because it requires nut heads smaller than any of my punches can handle.
