The Ship Model Forum

Thanks all. I have a couple of leads now to investigate. I appreciate all the advice having been provided.

Cheers,

Sean

I found this company from a post on Model boat Mayhem, looking to use them myself soon -

There is a sample of their work on that thread -

[quote="whytewolf"]Hey All,

Does anyone know a good place where I can get some custom photo-etching done. I'd be looking for a place where they can tech what I need from an AutoCAD file. My current 1/72 scale project needs a crap-load of stanchions, which on the prototype are just flat steel with the top corners cut off and three holes punched through for the rails. Granted I could make these out of styrene strip, but I'm pretty sure I'd go blind or maim myself before I finished.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
