Chris - Go to JoAnne fabrics for your rivets. Buy straight pins that have a head on them. They make great rivets and come in all different sizes. And they are cheap! Bolts, etc. are another issue. Sorry, but I have no idea regarding Scale Hardware.

I was on his site a month or so ago and he said that he would be gone because of some type of family situation. Now I can't his site to pop up. Hopefully he will be back soon as he has great products and service.

Chris,
Not a direct replacement for Scale Hardware, but depending on the size of the rivet you need, I have used resin decal rivets from Micromark (similar to Archer) with good success.
Again, not a direct replacement, but Pro Tech has photoetch nut and bolt heads that I use on everything. If you need the bolt portion to hold something together, you can use wire or styrene rod and add the head. Shameless plug- I have them available on my site.

Really sad to hear that Scale Hardware has closed down. I have contacted Robert Bentley to ask him if he's interested in adding some of the Scale Hardware type of items. Maybe if he heard that there was interest..... www.rbmotion.com/index.php?route=common/homePaul Erlendson |
