Hi all
These are small clips intended for sewing. The wife bought them from Aldi - £2.99 for 25.


So they grip the fabric they have little teeth in the jaws. Not good for modelling. They slip on the plastic and/or scratch the paint. I cut some small pieces of that art foam, folded it in half so the foam fits the jaws and prevents the problems. They work a treat and being small fit into awkward places. They have a remarkably good grip.


They do some bigger ones as well.

After asking on Barry W's Tornado thread about the model jig he used, Gern (Dave) kindly offered me one. So here it is. Well chuffed.

Nice Pete, but which GB ?
Just read the GB thread.
Great idea Pete, one I’m now really looking forward to seeing.

Pete, hope you are ok

Is he/her a vegan??

Another to cross off my wish list!!!!

I've been bidding on ebay for one of these for a long time, but they've always gone for what I considered too much ( £18 + ). At last, I got one. for just under £10 delivered. Call me a cheapskate, but I always enjoy a model more, if I know I got it at the right price! :money-face:

Nothing wrong with that logic! Cheers, Rick H.
