Basswood Strips

[DGraley]

Where can one purchase 1mm x 5mm basswood strips?  The strips that came with my kit are poor quality and I want to replace.  Length is 24".  Thanks.

Where are you located, it will make a big difference on cost.

Try Hobby Lobby, if you have one nearby.

A great source for quality wood strips is. Northeastern Scale Lumber.

I like nationalbalsa.com here in the USA.

I bought some nice boxwood strips from Modeler's Sawmill in Rutherford New Jersey, USA. (modelerssawmill.com).

 

Fast Tracks, Inc. (https://handlaidtrack.com)in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada sells Mt. Albert Scale Lumber wood strips of good quality.

 

I ordered a lot of basswood strips from Sig Manufacturing. They were pretty good quality, but there was quite a bit of variation in the dimensions of the smaller strips. Other suppliers had better tolerances. Sig also has an excellent line of very thin plywood.

 

Midwest Products (www.midwestproducts.com) has an excellent selection of small dimension basswood strips. Good tolerances.

 

Bud Nosen Models (https://budnosenmodels.com/) has a good selection of wood strips and thin plywood.
