Some of these round "nailhead" things are as small as 1.5mm in diameter: auction Here are some round ones that are 2mm:

Certainly be nice and smooth for a robot head plate |

I wonder if the come just as small, but oval in shape instead of round. Dan |

How do you find all these things Dan? |
| Cacique Caribe | 04 Jan 2013 6:17 p.m. PST |
LOL. Well, I was on ebay looking for actual nailheads for leather furniture and all this other stuff popped up in the results. Having suffered acute miniature-itis for decades, all I could think of was how could these tiny ones be used for minis. Dan |

I'm going to Hobby Lobby/Michaels tomorrow and see if I can find these things. I don't know what I'll do with them… but I'm sure something will occur to me |

I use something like those as domes on tanks and such. |

Top half of a hover droid? |

Nice for shield bosses on larger figures too! |
| Greylegion | 05 Jan 2013 9:12 a.m. PST |
Yes. You can get these things from Hobby Lobby. I bought some a little larger for helmets for 28mm minis. Haven't tried them out yet though. Glad I'm not alone in looking for/at stuff like this! |

Two ideas;
Food bowls for dioramas
Domes for the sides of daleks |
| Cacique Caribe | 05 Jan 2013 1:20 p.m. PST |
Hmm … How about adding some 2 or 3 wire legs to them?

Wow. These tiny "teardrop" nailheads would make cool shields (and other things, I'm sure) for small scale figures:
auction Or as embellishment for alien terrain, etc. Dan |
| deflatermouse | 06 Jan 2013 2:06 a.m. PST |
any clear ones for Mars Attacks/Buzz Lightyear? |
Dropzonetoe  | 06 Jan 2013 9:38 a.m. PST |
In the same vein I used a BB as basis for my 15mm WIP sculpt helmet.

ArmiesArmy: "Top half of a hover droid?" I like that idea a lot. Perhaps two of them with thin styrene bits sandwiched in between? Dan |

Teardrop canopy for a space fighter… just sayin'…

Oooh that's an idea… if I could find the same, just a bit larger… I was looking for something for a VERY different context (in 28 mm) : early 20th century Pulp in North Africa!
