Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 23 reviews.
The 1/32" rod is used for axles and steering head pivot on this 1:25 scale chopper. I would prefer the rod to be packaged in a tube, not the sealed card because I have to cut the rod out with a #10 blade or it will bend.
Being using your products for years in my modelmaking. Always satisfied. Photos are from a 1/64 scale model of a US Navy river gunboat (ca 1920).
As a model shipbuilder, I have often used this product primarily for building the rails on my boats but I often find other useful purposes as well. This particular size suits the scaling I need and it is easy to work with.
#8160 .032 (.81mm) is the perfect size for making spears, pikes and standard/banner poles for 15mm miniatures.
I use the brass for gas tanks on my miniature seagull engines.
First time using this type of material. Very pleased with how it has come out so far (WIP). Easy to use, high quality stuff!
K&S helps the projects happen
The Brass rods worked well for my project I 3D printed Light towers for my HO Scale model railroad use the brass rod to slid thru tiny holes then solder wire to each end of the brass wire for my lights to work
I have been using your products for over forty years! I am a watch/clockmaker and I am always looking for various metals to use. I used to have a great model railroad store in my home town that sold your products, but unfortunately they went out of business years ago so, I'm coming to the source! Thank you for the great metal products! Richard Awiza

It isn’t what I thought I had ordered, but could certainly have possibilities in the future. If so, I may have to raise the star bar. Thanks.
