Default Making Rivets

It never ceases to amaze me at the detail of some of the warbirds I have seen. I am especially interested in knowing how you get the intricate parts. For example, I have seen rivets, detailed cockpits and pilots, etc. I am searching for detailed pictures of F4U-1D cockpits and have found a few. Where would I find a resources for the material/process, etc that shows rivets? I searched and found one listing that said he used a mechanical pencil with the lead retracted, then pushed the pen onto the skin. Any other ideas?
