Laggard Posted November 27, 2021 #1 Posted November 27, 2021 Google fails. I tried every modeling site I know with no luck. Anyone? Thanks! Quote
allanyed Posted November 27, 2021 #2 Posted November 27, 2021 Hi Laggard, Did you consider using a harder wood such as castello, Alaskan cedar, or some other rather than soft wood like bass? If you have to stay with basswood If you have access to a band saw or table saw you can always cut your own from blocks. Consider no plank is over about 30 feet long so even at 1:48 the block of wood need only be about 8 inches long.

No idea how important the wood type is. I have no access to power tools. mtaylor 1 Quote
Solution David Lester Posted November 27, 2021 Solution #4 Posted November 27, 2021 1/16" x 1/2" basswood strips won't be too hard to find, they have them at MicroMark as well as at Model Expo for example. 3/64" stock can be harder to find, however I believe they have it (as well as 1/16" x 1/2") at minaturemarketplace.com which specializes in doll house supplies. Hopefully that's of some help.
