Title: Scale Rope
Post by: reefrich on August 05, 2011, 09:09:47 am

I am looking for some scale rope for my 1/48th Hunt Class mine Sweeper. Any ideas where the best place to source it is?

There was a link on the site but it doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Cheers

I have just found that Miskinmodels are trading on Ebay, still supplying the scale rope, going to order some.

I would think a good contact for scale rope would be "Mastman". He deals with many parts for the Thames Model Barges.
