I actually used pinheads. Drilled small holes with a pinvise, put the pin through and glued it, then cut off the bit inside.

If i was to do it again though, i wouldn't do it that way. Externally it looks fine, but inside even with the pins cut, theres lots of sharp bits and i cut myself many times, and it can scratch parts when putting the body on.

Now i'd probably just use some round head resin rivets. Not as cheap as a pack of pins, but neater internally.
