Micro Screws for Scale Models

For those of you who prefer to make your scale models look as realistic as possible, one of the details that often don't look quite right are the use of over scale self tapping screws, especially on a canopy or instrument panel etc. After many weeks of waiting for my order from China to arrive I have just taken delivery today of 5000 micro screws of various sizes from 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm and 1.7mm dia in lengths of 4 - 6mm. so if anyone needs a few micro screws to make the detail on their latest scale creation look right, let me know and I am sure we can come to an arrangement.

Peter told us of his

order from China

I wish I'd known about that boxed set when I bought a pack of 20 of each size from Mick Reeves.
At his prices screw is about the right word!

David,

Yes, that is where I have purchased them from in the past but thought they must be cheaper elsewhere, hence the order from China via ebay, which makes them about 7 to 10 times cheaper than MR prices depending upon what sizes are ordered. They are also up to 40 times cheaper than some other ebay vendors!!

At least at these prices and quantities you don't spend 30 fruitless minutes searching for the one you dropped on the floor!!!!!
