Hello guys,
A few of you know already I live in Germany, and I build brass frames and metal parts in connection with resin/styrene bodies, in 1:25.
An excellent source for threaded nuts and bolts in micro size, or the same as "dummies", or imitation nuts and bolts, from micro size on up is here;
The site is only in German. No problem though, open a google "German to English" search and up comes a mask and just give in what you want, or translate what you see on the site.
Here an example. I need to re-order nuts and bolts for my next project. I want them as small as possible, which would be functioning nuts and bolts, the head is 1mm. Read, super small;
knupfer.info/shop/index.php/deutsch/modellmuttern/messing/302-06.html, 25 pcs. for about $10.
The bolts, threaded,
knupfer.info/shop/index.php/deutsch/301-06-06.html, 25 pcs. for about $8.
I use these a lot too, the dummies, he calls them Imitations. Same size, no threads;
knupfer.info/shop/index.php/deutsch/imitate-und-spezialschrauben/schrauben-dummys-micro/501-06.html, 25 pcs. for about $6.50. The heads are only 0.6mm !
They come in sizes up to 4mm.
I buy all of my brass tubes, rods and other profiles from him, as well as aluminum and brass sheet. By the way, the nuts and bolts can be had in chrome too.
You can message me if you need help, no problem.
He sends overseas too. The shop is run by a husband and wife team. The guy is a freak....he built his own real steam locomotive and rides around his yard....while sitting on it!
