Etch Brass Buckles 1/16th (120mm)

[Viking Bob]

I am looking for the above items, as I have lost some sword slings on a figure I am working on.
Any ideas?
I have looked through the internet and found these
Resicast (All Scales) Various Type Photo-etched Buckles (2 pieces) 358802


is there a European supplier, these are listed at nearly 3,500 miles away.
Thank you.

you could maybe use David J parkins 'Firing line',
There's a Zulu wars range, and any brass fret will include things on fret you will find useful on other projects.

let me know how it goes.

Thanks Paul.
I have looked at this set and don't think I can use much, its very nice with extras for Zulu war etc.
I have looked at Aber, Voyager, lion roar brass etch etc etc. The only one that's any good is £15 +£8 pp for a tiny sheet of Brass. I will have another go at making them but with my banana fingers, its gonna take time.

Sorry Bob, I thought you'd buy the Heliograph anyway for
the base. , naughty Paul.

I'd have the Zulu war stuff but not enough figures in that scale

Bob,
The ones you refer to are from a Belgium company but are not showing on their website. Might be worth contacting them if you havn't already.

Just looked, Historex have them for £9.05 ( expensive)

 

[Viking Bob]

Cheers Bill, didn't think of Historex. I checked Resicast website and it's not shown.
Thank you.

Thanks Housecarl, I have seen this before and I am being lazy opting for the easy cop out.
I still have to source the "mesh" in the right size. I have made buckles with fuze wire, but they are not flat.
I may end up getting the buckle's from Historex as this is the easy option for my banana fingers.
Thank you for the reply.
