Rivet Detail:
Micromark # 84985 HO Scale Surface Rivet Decals ( #84987 are the O scale version ). Yes!, they are raised rivet heads on decal film, already lined up and spaced appropriately. I'm thinking that the O scale sheets could be used for HO scale Bolt Heads, but would have to try it before recommending that usage.
I haven't had the opportunity to try these myself, but I have seen how they turn out, and I am impressed.
If you haven't tried these before, this might be a good time, and project. As with any new technique / product, I highly recommend spending the time and the extra cash to "play" with the product, before using it on the model. Pay attention to how well they stand up to "handling" after the paint has dried. I would suspect they would be very delicate before.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
