Very fast delivery and Dom is always ready to listen out for anything that is not listed.
For hinges I go to ---------

Oh. My. Cheezus...

I'd seen Dom's eBay shop that has a couple of items, but that is an overdraft waiting to happen.

Wish I hadn't asked now!

Thank you (I think) jarndice

Come on, play fair!

This '£100' tank is going to be the ruin of me...

I already have a stock of styrene and happily used it in the past, but never integrated brass details before. Is there a preferred supplier for the bolts and hinges, or do you scratch build them too

However, I’m getting ahead of myself as my first tank bits won’t arrive until Friday...

I get all of my "non functional/simulated" brass hardware as well as the smaller functional nuts and bolts here:

I also use Master Models cast resin Nuts & Bolts in areas of non stress.

All the hinges you see are scratch built from sheet brass annealed and bent to shape over brass rod. I also use brass tubing cut to length and attached to brass sheet or bar.

Cheers,
Barry

Thanks again Barry.

As they’re US based I think that shipping to the UK would be prohibitive, but it’s always good to have options!

No, no......Its actually what you need to do with the stuff once you have it thats the prohibitive bit
Please remember that Mr C is enabled with skills not from this world.........in fact, we believe he resides in a section of Area 52 that is still classified ,and for some unknown reason has unfiltered internet access
Each of his years are fifty of ours,his eyes are the size of dinner plates, he has no nerve endings, and I am very concerned that he will be repatriated to his home planet before his Abrams is finished..............

I assume Herman that you know all this because you are from Area 53
