Random find in the model isle.

Putting away photo etch details for Gundam anime robot models I stumbled across these which could be a great help to the scratch builders, especially for shimming mechanisms and valve gear. Photo-etch washers in: 1, 1.3, 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.3, 2.6 and 3mm diameters. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

These do look useful (especially the larger ones, since most motor and worm shafts are somewhere between 0.8-2.0mm. But some smaller ones could be useful for valve gear use.  Do you know how thick is the sheet?  Actually these look to be half-etched, so they are probably half the thickness of the sheet.

Forgot to mention the company...

SIMP Model Products.

They have tons more photo etch and machined parts that can be useful and none of it is terribly expensive.
