fightersweep Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hi all; I'm on the lookout for a riveting tool similar to the Rosie the Riveter product . As they don't seem to be available now, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a good alternative. I've seen some on Ali Express that seem to have good reviews so might try one of those. I'm after something for larger scales such as 1/32 and 1/24. Cheers! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, received my Galaxy Tools riveter from AliExpress today. Very impressed with the quality! Can't wait to try it out now on some plastic. Good value too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark, Are the Radu Brinzan riveting tools still available somewhere or are they out of production now? I've found them to be hard to come by.

I might have even done a review on the tool some years back. Rings a bell Just now, Mike said: I might have even done a review on the tool some years back. Yep.

Marklo Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) https://www.scalemates.com/kits/rb-productions-rb-t010-rivet-r-mini--677201 This is the tool I have it’s the Rivet-r which does seem to be discontinued. Although it can be found on eBay. This looks pretty similar and the price is right. https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0gHH1W Edited April 21, 2023 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
