Kevin Posted April 3, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2013 Before i start, im not ready to start something like this, but is there a British supplier of timer kits - like lumber yard, but after my current build is completed, i fancy something that is not total kit related Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

tkay11 Posted April 3, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 3, 2013 I know Jotika will cut timber of various types (including pear) to size. Last time I asked they said they could do most thicknesses. Widths around 100mm, depending on wood that they have available. There are of course other wood suppliers, but none that I know of that do kits for a specific model, and none that do laser-cut parts for the kits. However, I haven't done too much research on this and it'll be nice to see if others come up with suggestions.

Pete38 Posted April 3, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 3, 2013 If you go to the WOOD discussion forum there are 2 pinned items on where to buy wood/suppliers. Don't know if will help or not but mayu be a good place to put any suppliers you find here (have it in one place) Good luck http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/20-wood-discussion/ Quote Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted April 6, 2013 i was looking for a British company that provides a service like Lumber-yard, providing different lumber sets in different woods to complete semi scratch models, apparently there are not any.
