I am building a wooden steel bridge and need something to simulate rivets. I am currently using small pinheads where I cut off 80% of the needle and stick the needle through the wood leaving exposed the small round needle head, then I spray paint it.
does anyone else have a better idea??
Thanks,

I'm using HO Peco track pins.
Is that any help, John?
This is just a practice model.

Yep, Archer Transfers. Here's a quick link to their O page...
One note, though.... As with any water-slide decals, you'll need to apply them to a painted/coated glossy surface for best adhesion. If you're building in wood, you'll want to apply a grain sealer and/or paint with a glossy final coat. After the decals have been applied and dried, you can kill the gloss with Dullcoat, or some other matte finish.
Even if you build with styrene/ABS, you'll want to apply a gloss coat before decals. Decals tend to not stick as well to parent material as to a glossy coated surface.
....IMHO, of course.
FWIW, always.

Here are the rivet decals on a wooden skip cart.
