mtdoramike Posted August 29, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 29, 2020 I don't see how they can make them for 99 cents. But I'm hooked on both counts. mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipman Posted August 29, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 29, 2020 Don't forget these.......I got some and wasn't disappointed. A no brainer in my opinion. http://www.dafinismus.de/plates_en#anker7 mtaylor, mtdoramike and Archi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stocked up on them a while back. They look just like the picture, and the 2mm ones are as good as you could make at that size. I think they will be great for ~1:48 cannon tackle.

barkeater Posted August 29, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 29, 2020 It's pretty easy to make your own and with the number of hooks needed for a build it is aslo more economical. I use silver wire for added strength as compared to craft wire and solder the eye. mtdoramike 1 Completed scratch build: The armed brig "Badger" 1777 Current scratch build: The 36 gun frigate "Unite" 1796 Completed kits: Mamoli "Alert", Caldercraft "Sherbourne" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Posted August 29, 2020 Share #8 Posted August 29, 2020 My time is worth more than $.05 per hook.. 🙂 mtdoramike 1 “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake (Scratch From MS Plans On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sheet of hooks, ringbolts dwarfs any other options out there. I forgot the numbers, but you're in the thousands. Makes $0.99 for 20 look pathetic. He does lots of other useful etch..... do yourself a favour and check his site. mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is shipping? This is a snip from Dafi. Largest size is 2mm These from Crafty Sailor ( Falkonet ) The ones from Crafty Sailor look better IMO and are available in six sizes from 2mm to 5mm.. You can get 1,120 for $56.. I'm sure Dafi's are good stuff, and a better price if you count the eyebolts and don't need anything larger than 2mm, but maybe not the best option for the US. mtaylor 1 “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake (Scratch From MS Plans On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
