Plastistruct (sp?) makes hex rod really, really small. It comes in a package like styrene rods but shaped like miniscule hexes. Just cut little slices and attach with a small spot of liquid cement.

Ey Horacio,

take a old Airfix airplane . lots of rivets :-) cut them carefully

in spanish. Coge un avion de Airfix ( un Hurricane por ejemplo) y corta con cuidado los tornillos.

un abrazo, gaucho

get a piece of hexagon shaped sprue or shape a piece yourself.Then stretch it to the required thickness, the sprue holds it`s shape .You can then slice off as many nuts as you require.
