For my winter project i'm wanting to mess with the body of my roundhouse Katie, having mastered a lot of new materials and methods so far model engineering metal work is the next new area for me. Having had a good read through lots of good advice for when i get to soldering, cleaning and painting the bit i'm stuck at is.

What is most suitable thickness for and is brass sheet the best material to use for body work.

Thanks Tom
