    Default Replacement scales

    Hi guys. Ive been out of the game for a fair while now. I have a few nice blades that need new scales which i will probably want to sell to get my hobby fund started again. Can anyone let me know any sources for fairly inexpensive replacement scales? Im from melbourne australia so i think think the exchange rate isnt too kind right now lol.

    You could make your own out of some thin wood stock If you just want some new plastic scales to get the blades going again the cheapest I have found is Whipped Dog. I don't know about shipping but I am sure Larry will just charge you the actual cost.

    I have made my own scales and requires minimal hand tools. I got a 5 dollar coping saw, a dremel for drilling the holes and 80-1000 grit sand paper, double sided tape or wood glue. Takes about 2 hours of work to make a set. I have several links to buy thin cut lumber I have saved if you want PM me for them
