I recently acquired a set of armor...the fella before me rivited the straps to the shoulders. I removed them and will be using a combo of velcro/strechy material. Now I have 3 eraser sized holes in the shoulder bells. My question is, what should I use to fill in the holes made by the rivits? Thanks for your help

Bondo works nicely. You'll have to paint when you're done though.

I would glue a small piece of plastic from behind for support, and then bondo the front.

Put another, shorter, rivet in the shoulder strap only.

Fill it in with a scrap of ABS, carefully cut to the shape of the hole. After the glue dries, sand it down and polish it with increasingly finer grades of ABS polish. The original hole should be virtually invisible.
