started modeling around age 8, Spirit of St. Louis, out of a cereal box, sure wish I had that box of cereal. Do most any subject, whatever I feel like at the time, currently working on a B-25J. Actually just getting back into modeling. I am looking for a couple tools I used at on time, the scale rulers about 8 - 9 inches long in 1/72, 76, 48, 35, 32 scale. Where can I order them. Thanks for the help. Also if you recognize the origin of my screen name e- mail me.

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

Micro-Mark.com and Model Expo sell some small scale rulers. The L.S.Starrett Co. makes some. I have their 6" steel ruler that has 1/16th, 1/8th on one side and 32nd and 64th on the other. I picked up a 12" stainless steel at either Home Depot or Lowes that has the same 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 and cm on one side and a conversion table on the other for decimal sizes.

There is another company, Johnson Level & Tool Mfg. Co.,Inc. that makes all kinds of rulers of all sizes and materials. My wife has a few of theirs in different sizes that she uses in her window treatment business.

There is another small tool company that sells those but I can't remember the name right now. Maybe one of the other members will be able to help out.

Hope this helps. Good luck finding what you need.
