Bobcat1970 Posted March 23, 2023 #1 Posted March 23, 2023 Does anyone know where I can find 12mm, brass, 2 ball, rail stanchions with holes? I have 13, but need 71 more for the Endurance I'm building. I have looked on Ebay and other model ship companies, no luck. Thanks, Bobcat Quote

There have been at least 3 including Endurance 1912. You can make a mold in silicone rubber of one or more of the 13 that you have, then make them out of casting resin.

Bobcat1970 Posted March 25, 2023 Author #4 Posted March 25, 2023 Hi Alan: I live in the USA ( Rhode Island). The model is a 1\70th scale model of the Shackelton's Endurance. I would be willing to pay for the remaining pieces. Let me know if you know of a good site to check. Thanks, Bob. mtaylor 1 Quote

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted March 26, 2023 #8 Posted March 26, 2023 I did get something like this from Cornwall, but at the time I couldn't get the full quantity needed, due to the limitation of the stock they had on hand. So any supplier might occasionally have a similar limitation ... but I presume that they do re-stock when something sells out.

AlanDavison Posted March 26, 2023 #9 Posted March 26, 2023 You might find what you are looking for from David J Parkin who is in the Uk. He does a range of 1/72 scale fillings for the Revell Flower class corvette in a range called Great Little Ships. Among the range are sets of 3 & 4 rail stanchions in white metal, they can be a little fragile but are nevertheless quite usable. Hattons on line mail order model shop also stock the range. hope this helps mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote
