It doesn’t matter if you are scratch building, converting, or just adding detail to a military vehicle model, you need scale nuts and bolts. Sometimes, you need a lot of them. I have tried just about every technique for making bolt heads with varying success. Salami slicing hex rods resulted in varying thickness and sloping bolt heads. Chiseling off Styrene bolt heads works; but it is difficult to keep them level. I’ve found it nearly impossible to properly position resin nuts and bolts regardless of the type of CA used. So, I was thrilled to get an RP Toolz Hexagonal Punch and Die Set. This tool allows you to punch bolt heads from Styrene strips resulting in perfectly uniform thickness.
