Mine are 1/16" and they look too big in places.<br /><br />2) Besides size, it takes an insanely sharp blade <i>and</i> ultra-precise cuts to not end up with chunky, lopsided pieces.<br /><br />Honestly, if I ever did anything big in plastic, I'd probably just get some thin plasticard and keep using the hole punch.<br /><br />I'm very far behind on my painting. It's the toughest part for me. Before the end of the year, though, I'm hoping to do a "painted" post with the gargant, Imperial Knight, Plaguereaper/Baneblade, and maybe a few other things.Virtual Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040333093180694172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061921503518017338.post-74390872478725385872015-09-02T14:07:10.227-07:002015-09-02T14:07:10.227-07:00Back in the old days when they did modelling artic...Back in the old days when they did modelling articles in <i>White Dwarf</i> they would often use bits of sprue as rivets; have you ever done this?<br /><br />I would love to see finished, painted versions of your projects.
