Nial ap Morai Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I am running low on the rods to pin arms/legs/wings/minis to bases, etc. there used to be several companies that would sell little kits of the rods but I can’t find them anymore. Anyone have info on companies that still sell them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inarah Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Quick search brings up Etsy and Green Stuff World. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmorse Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Green Stuff World is the go to for buying repackaged cheap things at insane markups. When they are feeling spicy they'll also patent other people products as start making them for themselves. K&S Precision Metals sells lots of sizes of thin, straight brass rod and is pretty easy to find if you don't want to use paperclips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2ED Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I agree with Haldir. Paperclips are easy and strong. And cheap. And plentiful. I usually get the steel ones. Just watch it for the cheep ones that hands a plastic coating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Micro Mark sells a lot of really tiny nails in multiple sizes which are prefect for pinning smaller things... Plus, they usually come in packages of 50 or 100, which will last you the rest of your life, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snitchythedog Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 In the states Ace Hardware sells small spools of brass, copper or steel wire pretty cheap in a bunch of diameters. Was my go to when I lived there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawhat Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I ended up buying a package of straight pins. They're fairly narrow, but seem to work reasonably well. Plus, when you're working with regular Bones material, sometimes you can just the other side into the figure instead of drilling two holes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
