Igneous Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I've been trying to build my scout armor but was just wondering what type of rivets should I use on the build and how should I install them? I may be just overthinking it but I don't want to mess up an armor set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to need a rivet gun, but you can get one of those for about $20 from your local hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioCreations Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The rivets used on the ROTJ Scouts are 1/8 inch Pop Rivets. Pop rivets come in two sizes in the USA, small 1/8 and large 3/16. They come in 3 lengths too: SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG. I recommend using medium length rivets for the back hump and belt. and short length rivets for the knee armor. You will want to buy a small box of Rivet Backing Washers too. The washers keep the metal rivet from ripping through the soft plastic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatfoodRob Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 What Jeff says is dead correct . No metric rivets were used , just imperial sizes 1/8 and 3/16 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swfangirl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 This is timely info, I’m shopping for them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioCreations Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Depending how you attach your two metal belt clips to the Thermal Det Pipe, you might need two (2) more Medium Length Rivets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troygordon2 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I'm putting my SC kit together now. Appears there is a rivet on the outside and inside of the top hole, but is the bottom only supported on the inside of the armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioCreations Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Troy, Can you post a photo of the area in question? i am not sure what part of the costume you are referring to when you say "outside and inside of the top hole". Thanks, -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
