Hi All,

I have spent the past few hours going through about 60 odd websites looking for some kits for a pier.

I remember seeing them on a site, and they looked really beautiful. I am unsure if they were 1/72 or 1/35 scale. They were also modular in design. i.e. basic pier section, end section, stairway/platform section etc.

Only problem is, I can't remember where I saw them, or who made them. Any help would be greatly appreciated with this.

Hi Glen,
Are you looking for a true wooden pier, or a dock set?...and what scale are you looking for?.........Battlefleet Models make some terrific dock sets in 1/350 and 1/700 scale...take a closer look HERE!

Hey All,

thanks for your help and links etc. I have now found what I was looking for. I must say, I wouldn't have found them again without your help.

Cheers
