This is a bit of a longshot and I am showing my senility here!

2 weeks ago I purchased (from somewhere) a large collection of metal washers. Mostly 35mm and 40mm flat round that I am using to base 1:285th GHQ micro armour on.

I also bought from the same company some 40mm and 50mm flat metal discs like washers but without holes in the middle, these cost a little bit more.

For the life of me I can find nothing in my ebay or amazon order history or my emails as to where the heck i got them from and I need some more!!!

Does anyone have any ideas where I can get these size of washers cheaply? I believe they were being sold in packs of around 10 – 15.

I THOUGHT I bought them from Warbases, but looking now they do not stock any metal washers so i am commpletely confused

I'm guessing you paid by debit or credit card, what about looking at your statement.
Also you could try your internet history.

Good luck.

Scroll down this list and you should find something you can use.

Try "fender washers" These large round washers have a small hole in the center and come in boxes of 25(?). I've used them for years, they work great for trees.

Guys I really appreciate the responses.

I explained the problem to my wife rather sheepishly, and she thinks she has a solution. I honestly can't remember but think she MAY be right…..

She thinks I bought them from B&Q about 3 weeks ago! (Same as home depot). I'm somewhat embarassed that even after she said that I'm still not sure. The more i think about it the more it rings a bell (quietly)

I went to see a private neurologist a year ago because i was concerned about my memory. He showed me a picture of an elephant and said what's that? Elephant i replied, i have a bad memory i'm not retarded! He thought that was evidence my memory was fine.

Funnily enough though a year later and I do still remember that elephant :) Though i don't remember the name of the neurologist nor would i recognise him if i saw him in the street…… BUT I would recognise an elephant :)

CptKremmen -- your experience with memory loss is all too often common among many who have "seen the oliphant."

I've "seen the oliphant" or at least I think I did.

Just got 200 25mm metal washers from Wilinsons for £2.99 GBP

If anyone else is looking for washers in the UK for basing they are a total bargain
