Impalow Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Does anyone currently make these? I have a large old pack of S&S Specialties ones, and a pack of the old Model Car Garage ones, I love them, to the point I am going through them way to fast... Going to need to replenish my stock soon.

Impalow Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 thank you mike... that is perfect... so much easier than cutting them off sprue.
Tom Geiger Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Don't forget Grandt Line nuts and bolts. They are injection molded on trees and are 3D. A pack like this is something like $2-3.00 I bought a mess of different sizes and types many years ago and still have a lifetime supply.
Foxer Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I really like the Grantline pieces because they are 3-dimensional. They mount securely with the shaft they come on in a small drilled hole.
Impalow Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks Tom! Those are going on the old Christmas list... When Ive wanted more dimensional fasteners in the past I will use some hexagon rod, cut small pieces and attached it at the end of the scratch building stage. These look much better/cleaner than that. The photoetch ones i have been using as a final detail step... dab of future or matte varnish from a toothpick.. then plop these on at for a splash of detail here and there. I actually used them on the end of pinheads on my model T.. I wasnt sure how it would work, but i was very impressed with how it turned out.
Foxer Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Those PE bolt heads look really good. They seem to have more thickness than the ones I've had. Here's a shot of some Grandt Line studs with nuts on the license plates. for your reference.
Impalow Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Yup... need lots of those! That looks outstanding mike! Thank you for the help!
