Michael Morris Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I've seen several modelling videos of modellers using a small blue flexible steel ruler with nice big numbering on it. My eyesight is a bit cc**P and one of these little rulers looks like exactly what I need. I can only find one site that seems to sell them and that is for the 12" version and it's in the US. http://shop.archsupply.com/product/alvin-non-skid-flexible-stainless-steel-ruler-blue/ Any ideas where to get one in the UK?

Richard E Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hi Michael I've got a Helix Cork Backed Ruler which looks similar to the one you are asking about and is fairly flexible. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have a 15" cork-backed stainless ruler, too, but I didn't take a photo of it. I also so this collection of small measurement devises to use. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks It's the large white markings on a blue background that I'm particularly after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AltcarBoB Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I also struggle to read ruler markings. I have partially solved the problem by downloading and printing a ruler. You can find several sites that have downloadable rulers. I printed several including a 1/72 scale ruler onto 200 gsm thin card and cut them out. Obviously not robust but they are acceptably accurate and are very very easy to read. I have been meaning to give one several coats of varnish to make it less floppy.
