I'm in need of a brass bell. I'm doing a 1/35 project and need one. Anybody got a lead on where I could find one in this scale or at least close? Thanks. "Q"

For such things I usually go our friends in the model railroad hobby. Also, craft stores often carry injection molded plastic bells in various small sizes, though you would have to paint them.

Hello Matt,
The Plank on Wood Ship Maker out of Florida has brass bells in different sizes.
Micro Mart has some of them in the catalog or on-line site.
HTH,
Cheers,
Bruce
(I cannot remember the name of the company the makes the ship kits)
