I am scratchbuilding a truck chassis in 1/50 scale. Has anyone got any brilliant ideas how I can make bolt heads as I can't afford to buy aftermarket ones!?!

You could always use sprue. If you have hexagonal sprue or if necessary file a bit of frame to the desired shaped and then stretch it in the normal way. Stretched sprue will retain its shape and then its just a case of cutting off sections that appear to be the right size.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions. In the end I decided not to add bolt heads 'cos it dawned on me they wouldn't be visible on the finished model - and i wanted to finish it for SMW this year not next!
