If you search the forum for "rivit squeezer" you will find a few examples of tooling to close the rivit by hand. I think you mean 3/64"? Even smaller, I used 1/32" copper rivets for the body of my loco (and 1/16" ordinary rivets for the frames) . I used cheap nail punches* as sets and made my own anvils on 3/8" steel bars held in a vice. Neil *I thought they were sets when I bought them, they worked fine.
