@Sharkmouth I have seen these same items on Temu, and have avoided them. In the plates that I have, 400, 600, 1200, 2200, and 3000, I have used them all. Believe it or not I have used the 1200 about the most. The 400 gets used occasionally for doing odd jobs, along with the 600. The 2200...

Anytime I have had something like that, I either find something to fit the holes, or take a small drill and make the holes fit something that I have. That process works better with pre-planning and making the holes bigger before taking the parts off the sprue.

Your ability to do quick 3D parts in Blender that look really good is astounding Greg!

When I had my leg surgeries and gall bladder surgery, it was in at the crack of dawn, and out by noon. The gall bladder surgery I went home and was going to lay down, that didn't happen was too uncomfortable, so got a blanket and pillow, went out and sprawled sitting up on the couch and zonked...

Different skill sets. Those parts you were trying to work with are just another Tuesday for me at work. Sorry to hear you were having so much trouble with it Paddy. A big Attaboy for giving it a go!

The site still exists, but is basically inert. I have several older Pocher kits, but am not looking forward to dealing with them. Might just go ahead and sell them. I have so many other kits to build that I will probably enjoy more.

Something I have found with mine is that it "seems" to clog, but it is really building up a blob of paint on the needle that sticks out. I take a Q-tip, poke it on the end of the needle, spin it, and pull it back off. Blob is gone and the "clog" is gone. Turns out it isn't internal, as when...

I have notice this morning that this beastie is on the way.

Quite impressive Tim! Keep up the good work!

Your getting there!

That Pontos PE looks challenging. Do what you feel up to my friend. I use micro applicators for extra tiny stuff that are made from stainless wire. The wires have a slightly angled chisel end on them that is polished which helps to apply the CA exactly where I want it. That and good...

Speaking of hollow, it is becoming about time for me to go to my drill bit source for another variety of small bits.

If you want some inspiration for gaming miniatures go check out the DakkaDakka forum. It is mainly for gaming miniatures and a lot of that is Games Workshop stuff.

The one issue I had with their PE on the Ju88 (which isn't finished yet) was one part on the wheel well fret wasn't correctly etched. They sent me a new full fret with the corrected part. I ended up using some of those extra parts on the build.

Get yourself a Drafting stubble brush. They are about 12+ inches long with 2+ inch soft bristles. I use mine all the time and have found small 1/72 PE parts the size of a pin head.
