Tim,

here in the UK we have a number of suppliers of thin metal strip (brass, steel, nickel silver, phosphor bronze) in various thicknesses and widths for modelling - what sort of sizes are you after?? (The main supplier I thinking of, Eileen's Emporuim, don't yet have a website, otherwise I'd post a link). In addition, I know I have lots of thin brass strip from waste sections of etched brass kits, if I find something which might be useful I'd be happy to post some over. Regards, Alan London, UK

Personally I'd like to see someone do an etched sheet of strip brass in several scale widths, each piece 3-4" long. It would be generic material, thinner than the Detail Associates flat strips, easier to bend and twist, for many applications. Easy to cut too, because the cuts are not lengthwise -- as you said it's really hard to cut shim material so narrowly.
