Today I received some samples from Dry-Dock Models - many thanks to get a detailed view on these

small single double, triple blocks, violine blocks, nails, deadeyes, belaying pins etc. etc.

and I have to state:

These are the best quality I had ever in my hand or seen on other models
- especially the very small ones are amazing - so accurate prepared - every single block is looking like the other one, all holes are drilled, absolutely no inaccuracy, also with the smallest one with only 2mm size
I can not imagine, how they are produced ..... really amazing

Really the best I have ever seen Exclamation-Mark Exclamation-Mark Exclamation-Mark

I'm having trouble finding metric thicknesses of basswood for my scratch build of the Wappen Von Hamburg I. I used to have a complete woodshop and was able to mill all my own lumber (I was an architectural woodworker by trade), but due to illness (girlfriend) and serious injury (self) , I had to sell off my tools (pandemic didn't help matters). I need a quality, reasonably priced source for lumber. I have two ships I'm building, the other being HMS Prince of 1670, and both sets of plans are metric. I wanted to fashion the hull plates and bulkheads from basswood. Any help that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. I also am looking for plank on frame plans, particularly for 17th century ships of the line. When I ordered the plans for the Prince I was told they were plank on frame, but they turned out to be plank on bulkhead. I was disappointed, but I'm going to build her anyway.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
