Anyone know how to make them?

Plasticard or similar material, punched out into tiny circles the size of rivets.  It's the easiest way I've seen so far.

Go go lazy internet powers!

I just ordered some.  I realized I needed a ton of them for the plaguetower.

Another option for larger rivets is to use common/straight pins.  Cut the head off the pin and use that as a rivet.  I've used this technique on a few models and it looks pretty good.  You can get 500 for 2-3 dollars.
