dvm27 Posted October 11, 2016 #1 Posted October 11, 2016 I was hugely disappointed to learn that Scale Hardware, manufacturer or precision micro fasteners, washers, etc., is no longer in business. I've been unable to locate another source for items such as 0.5 mm brass washers, rivets and other simulated fasteners. Anyone know of a similar source of these products?

dvm27 Posted October 11, 2016 Author #3 Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks, Mark. BNA as actually a distributor for Scale Hardware. Note they have only a few items left. Once they've sold out that will be it.

ccoyle Posted October 11, 2016 #7 Posted October 11, 2016 I'd think the scale plastic armor guys must have some source for items like these. Maybe browse one of the plastic forums?

druxey Posted October 11, 2016 #8 Posted October 11, 2016 That's unfortunate news. They were a great source of supply and fast service. I'm sorry that they've folded their tents and gone. dvm27, mtaylor and Canute 3 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv

druxey Posted October 23, 2016 #11 Posted October 23, 2016 Small rivets are listed as 'gedrehte feinnieten/messing' (turned rivets/brass) on the Knupfer web site. Might save one a little time finding them! Canute, mtaylor and dvm27 3 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv

druxey Posted March 2, 2017 #13 Posted March 2, 2017 Just received this news from Model Motorcars as well. This is great to know for many of us!
