Hi Wolfy,

I used 3/64 x 1/8 in brass when I did mine

Hi Paul

Any chance you could post a link to where you got your rivets from. Looking to do my turret bin in the near future.

Cheers

Mick

Hi Mick,

Yes not a problem, I buy most of my supplies from https://ekpsupplies.com/ or http://www.glrkennions.co.uk/

Anybody got a good source for bin catches.

Hi John,

Tim Catton made sets of German catches http://erkennungsmarken.smugmug.com/Bus ... &k=MTPGjhd

Hi dont bother with rivets. Just use a toothpick and white PVA glue . You will probably have to dab them twice but once dry and painted no one would know. Cheap easy and quick. Cheers Peter

Even easier for rivets are the half round "pearls" available from craft suppliers on fleabay. Available in diameters down to 1mm and totally indistinguishable from copper rivets. I paid £1 for 200 stuck them on with superglue wont come off ever!
