Bolts are substantial for a lot of wargaming or tabletop terrain projects. For Fantasy, SiFi or Steampunk constructions they fit very well. If you want to simulate nails you come to a similar problem to solve. After trying different method to get a proper bolt I thought clipping of the heads of small nails could work great? You need a stronger clipper than for your normal hobby work but than it is really easy. After a while you will get the trick and every bolt turns out very well. When it comes to glue the bolts or nails to your model it is much more easy when you do
not cut off the nailhead even and directly beyond. A small rest of the nails wire is great if you drill a fitting hole before gluing it. By doing it this way the bolts look more realistic and stable.
GERMAN: Bolzen sind ja für viele Geländebauprojekte sehr wichtig und ich habe auch schon einiges ausprobiert. Diese Technik ist einfach und sieht gut aus. Man knipst dazu den Kopf eines Nagels ab. Dabei kann ruhig ein Rest des Drahstiftes stehen bleiben. Dieser lässt sich beim verbauen prima in eine kleine Bohrung verkleben.
Viel Spaß beim Basteln!
