Guest promodmerc Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I thought it was Pro-Tech but all I saw was photoetch stuff. Not that it wasn't quality stuff though but I need the actual threaded scale bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Dan, check out Alan Raab, overt Ma's Resins, he has some NICE ones! I think you'll like 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 http://www.scalehardware.com/ I second that, Harry!. Their stuff isn't cheap, but frankly, their bolts and rivet details can't be beaten either, for looks. And if you check their website, they even have super-tiny threaded bolts, and nuts to go on 'em. Their service is fantastic, every time I have ordered from them, my order has arrived within 3 business days of my placing it. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah, not cheap by any means. You have to "pick your spots" and use them where they'll have the most effect. In other places where a "fake" bolt head would do, you can make them from hex shaped styrene rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bag of 25 pcs will last me a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah, their stuff can't be beat for us guys into superdetail! Also since their simulated bolts are made of brass thus sturdy, getting those working features to work makes it nice too! Like Harry said, you gotta be a little choosy where to put them because they are a bit pricey considering. For static things, Walthers makes some nice plastic bolt heads which translate well into 1/24-25th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuel Coupe Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Robert Bentley at R.B. Motions makes some really nice simulated machined nuts and bolts too. No web site just a phone number and GREAT service... Edited November 6, 2009 by TxRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shucky Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I agree, I have a pretty hefty collection from Bob at scalehardware as well as RB Motion stuff. Both excellent, cant go wrong either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSilva Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Heres another thumbs up for Alan Raab, his resin bolts are a great and cheap way of getting some hex bolt and nut heads for only 2 bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 All great sources of bolts and boltheads. One other is to venture over to the model railraoding side of the business and find "Grandt Line Bolts". These are primarily plastic bolts and boltheads with many different styles and sizes to choose from. And because they are plastic they are fairly resaonable. Usually a package of 50 bolts (they come on a sprue just like model kits) will only run about $2 to $3 dollars. They also make brass variations as well as white metal ones, which go for a bit more money, but not much more. Check them out. http://www.grandtline.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsgs Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Along with what Wayne is talking about, there is also a company called Precision Scale Co. that makes plastic bolt detail. They are cast with washers. I get them from Walthers. Here's a link. Scale nuts and Bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Johnston Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Jon Cole has a great 40 chevy with lugnuts he made out of cut wafers of hex plartic rod. They look totally accurate. PLus you can get the stuff cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
