Kodiak Island Modeler Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 That would be a lot cheaper than the wire mesh that I use from the model railroad world, and probably a lot easier to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to a place that repairs/replaces screens, ask them, and they will give you some small pieces, different colors too. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR BIGGS Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 The window screen I think is a bit to big. go to your local Target or Walmart and go into the pot's and pan area, pick up the splatter sheild that you put on top of the small pan so the grease won't get all over the place. those are real nice and are stainless steel. U can get alot of just one. I got one for around 6 buck's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker Bob Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) The splatter screen is what I use also. I picked one up the other day at Big Lots for $3. Edited December 15, 2008 by Biker Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 What's goin' on... Plano Model Products has various photo etch screen/mesh geared more towards model railroaders that looks PERFECT for grills. It also works good for cat walks and fuel tank steps. The area in the door screen mesh if I'm not mistaken would be over 1 sq.in. 25th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
