If you can stand the insanity level required: but a box of straight pins
a 
good pair of pliers, a pair of tweezers, and GOOD wire cutters. Cut the
heads 
off the pins, leaving
a tiny stub. Press the stub into the surface with a dab of glue (you may
have 
to bore a tiny hole in styrene. You justhave to set your lines of rivets
and 
then take a week to recover from your blood loss. It is akin only to
throwing 
yourself full force upon 25oo 25mm pikemen woith piano wire pikes.

Or you can use tiny drops of tacky glue and then put your primer and
paint 
over the top of it to keep them from flaking off easily.
