Dear All

I am looking for the following styrene strip

There is a line on the top missing it disappear connecting the two part (not really clear)
It should look like a square Omega or 2 L shape connected on the top.
I didn't find it at evergreen or Plastruct

I hope that someone can help me
cheers
Seb

I think what you are describing is picket, which makes nice field expedient bangalore torpedoes by the way. I have never seen it offered, but had to make some for some scratch built steel mill gondolas. The easiest method is to use channel with a strip on either side. You can vary the depth by placing the channel on the edges of the strips, or butting the strip against the channel.
