I'd recommend using one of the ponce-wheel types of tools. I used the RB Production Rivet-R tool to rivet the exterior of a 1/32 scale Hasegawa 190D-9. Using a set of detailed drawings, a straight edge and a soft lead pencil, I traced the rivet lines on the plastic. I then "rode" the Rivet-R over the lines. One firm pass was all it took to produce the rivets.
