The Sigillite Group: Iterators Posts: 4,650 Member No.: 17 Joined: 15-January 08	you can use the same method with sewing pins or even thin plastic rod The easiest method would be to use PVA(elmers)glue. using a pin/pencil tip place a small dot of glue where you want the stud. Once dry repeat 4 or 5 times and it will be built up enough to look studly This post has been edited by BigWill on Sep 24 2009, 09:18 PM

When the glue has hardened then you can file the studs down to the right height. You can see my attempts at Mk5 here (scroll down).
