Evil bay strikes again

[Ron Tamburrini]

Ordered 0.05 copper plate from the wonderful Evil bay
What I got was a lump of metal thick enough to to armour plate the Bismark
This was meant to be for making reins and harnessing 54 mm models .

Why I ever bother with this lot ; as they always disappoint .
So now looking for something witha little bit of body which will hold shape and easy to cut as the stuff that comes with MM is good but if you gotta reposition after painting it flakes off too easy .

Hi Ron,
Go to Aldi buy a tube of tomato puree for about 50p, make some wonderful Italian dishes with the contents and then cut open and wash out the metal foil wrapper, hey presto loads of metal sheet suitable for straps, reins, slings ect.

Roger has two excuses, One he is from Yorkshire and the other is He works out of Aberdeen , the stingiest place in the universe

Yes.

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Yes.

Hammer it out to the thickness you want. Plus you will get a workout for your health.

Mine was the same Ron, small sheet at £5.00! totally useless as so thick and stiff. Will stick with my lead foil sheet I think.

Cheers

Hi Guys ,

The Chimp recommended going to a company called Troutcatchers ( a fishing site ) for great lead strip ideal for straps etc ..well worth a look

Fishing, are you sure?

 

[MCPWilk]

Try model ship or model locomotive suppliers such as Eileen's Emporium.

Fly fishing and tying uses all sorts of lead foil Roger but generally comes with a sticky backing these days , which is difficult to get off .

The "capsule" around the top of a lot of wine bottles is lead foil. A good restaurant or a bar would certainly let you cut off the foil from their empties.
