More great work Scottie, really nice detailing.

Scottie, your detailing makes sense of all those funny little lumps and bumps that had me wondering. Great stuff.

Peter, thanks mate but I have just made the bumps bigger :tongue-out3:

Yes it is different well for me certainly. This is primarily an excuse to practice my figure painting I am waiting for some figures to turn up. Sorry but don't know how to say this but I have eaten the sausages.

Evening Scottie,

I have a Nutter punch that does 0.25mm by The Tool Shop a US firm

Nicely made BUT they cost a ridiculously stupid amount and you have to use their lead foil so you are limited to the foil thickness - won't work on other materials without causing damage to the tips.

Sometimes have to stick a few punched bits on top of each other to get a bit of thickness

I got mine in a sale with a substantial discount and it was still expensive. It can be handy but if I was buying again I think it would be hard to justify the cost they are now charging

I actually designed and drew my own punch and die set and tried a few engineering companies that supposedly specialised in small run productions, to get quotes - not a single answer from anyone

UMM-usa.com have an interesting selection of punch sets but smallest seems to be 0.4mm

Thanks mate I may have a go at making my own use some broken drills. Not sure I can justify an expensive tool.

Hi Scottie
More miniature magic.

I struggle as well, my big problem is pinging things across the room.

The floor around where us modellers work must be a veritable treasure trove of handles, knobs, catches, rivets etc.

Have u tried sheet rivets? I've seen them on evilbey for detailing RR stuff in HO scale. PaulE

Jim, I reckon if we pooled our resources we would have enough for a complete kit lol.

Paul, I hadn't thought of that I will have to give it a look.

Scottie - if you are looking at pre moulded rivets/bolts also check out Masterclub, Grandt Line and Meng

If you need any accessories for your kitchen Historex still do their spare parts, available from Historex Agents

Knives, forks, spoons, pots, pans, plates, bottles, dead animals etc - all kinds of neat stuff
