If they are lined up well, I would cut around most of them, leaving a small attachment point between each one, so they are in a "strip". Then edge color
as much as you can. After that, it should be simply a matter of finishing the cutting, then using tweezers to hold the hex nut to finish the "attachment" points. Does that make sense?

I have included small "nuts" in all my armour kits,
and every time I have built one of my own kits I have planned on adding all those 3D nuts/bolt heads and every time I have chickened out! Too many little things to cut out!! waaaaaaa

For instance glue what tacks faster and lets you go onto another part sooner? Technique? What method does someone use that works for speeding up repetitive parts? Tools: We all re-purpose tools that help us. Glue tools-a ink fill syringe is faster than a q-tip for applying glue, a toothpick takes even longer for long runs, but is ideal for small parts My tool kit has hammers, chunks of wood for dead-blow mallots, washer cutters (dual hole punch), micro hole cutters, big arch hole cutters, drill bits, different glue applicators,12-different type of scissors, short, long, wide rulers for differnt cutting sizes. More than just those, my point they all have a purpose to help speed model building up. Ten times faster to use a hole punch instead of cutting circles with a knife. How fast are you at cutting? I like to use a rotary cutter for long straight cuts, a sharp pair of scissors for outside arc/circle cuts and a hobby kinife where those two tools won't work. If you only have an hour each day, yes, some models will take years to complete. Some have day after day to build. Ken West's Apollo is a daunting project, I plan to complete it one day, the reward of finishing it will be enjoyed. Mike

And Ray, your comment makes sense except that the nuts are lined up corner to corner. I might be able to adapt that suggestion, though — (mental wheels turning . . .) |

Anne, give me a few pieces to look at, and I might be able to
come up with a plan of attack.

Here are the teensy scary nuts (or maybe they are bolt heads). And there are a lot of them. Just handling them will be a challenge. Even an ordinary exhalation could scatter them everywhere. And the publisher has marked the location of at least some of them in RED, so if I omit them, it will look like the tank has measles.

In the case of the rivet/bolt heads, why not use something like this>>> Pic-n-Stick
Or make your own
