I too would like to hear about a good (easy and consistent) way to make 
thin riveted strips in either brass or styrene. This seems to be one of 
the skills that I have not yet mastered, i.e. i find it a difficult, 
time consuming task and my results are inconsistent! Grrr... half-way 
through a project i often swear i will never do another project that 
has rivets!

One comment on brass to styrene... my experience has been that the two 
materials do not have the same 'flexibility coefficient' (made-up term) 
and on rare occations if the styrene is flexed the brass part will pop 
off. It could just be me... :)
