grsjax Posted September 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2013 Just a question for the forum members. Does anyone know where to obtain photo etched nails and roves? Modelexpo has them but the cost is very high and it takes them a month to send them out. I can make them but would rather spend my time building.

grsjax Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted September 29, 2013 Hi The model is 1/16th scale so the nails would be about 24ga or there abouts I think. Just checked back with Modelexpo and they now have them on their end of the month sale list for 2.5 cents each. Much more reasonable price and I went ahead and ordered what I need. These nails are 1/2" long and the shank is between .02 and .03" in size so they should be about right. Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
