Good afternoon. It’s me again.

Just a quickie question for the hive mind.

I’ve got my Taigen Pro King Tiger hull and deck stripped down as far as I can get. I’ve never seen so much superglue / gloop on any model I’ve ever worked on and it’s been a real pig of a job to do.

I’m going to replacing the all nuts, bolts and screws where possible with better quality stainless steel ones.

What are the hive’s thoughts on using Nylok / locking nuts or blue thread lock blue?

Thanks in anticipation.

I heartily endorse the use of nut bolts and washers in our builds and where they are available I always use nylocks and Loctite 243 is my first choice of threadlock when Nylocks are not available I get mine from------

Rolson make a very nice (And Cheap) Tap and die set that can provide you with scale threads for your scale nuts bolts and screws.

Hello,

I can buy stainless nuts and bolt from my local engineering supplies warehouse individually. I don’t really want to buy a pack of 50 normal steel ones, when I possibly only need two. I hope that makes sense?

Thank you.
I’ve bought from prime-miniatures in the past, but model fixings is one I’ve not seen before.

Depending on the size and type you need, there is also.
