try www.screwfix.com,all the usefull sizes and screws n rivets etc,they do charge for delivery tho so make a big order to cover it,btw good luck

the engine i want to try and build one day is a model gas turbine. Have wanted one ever since i was about 14 when i used to build model planes. Unfortunatly the planes have had to be hung up in the garage to make space on the floor and in my time schedule for the car.

I knew someone who lived near me who was building one in a fairly unsofisticated workshop with a mill and lathe.

just got back from luego after picking up the velocity. Time to start building!

This is where the fun starts, best of luck with your build.
If you need help there are some very knowledgable people here.
