You're a master of your craft, no doubt about it.
I'm going to work with tiny pieces like the one on your finger tip in near future. What kind of tools do you use for handling? Just ordinary tweezers and a magnifier?

Show off... ;)


Now I don't mean this question in the wrong way, but it looks like you are dropping in quite a bit of AM on an already super (and not inexpensive) kit... How much are you sinking into this baby pricewise? :Squirrel:

Thanks for stopping in for a look guys. And for the encuouribng comments.

mostrich, I use exactly the 2 things you mention. My magnifier is an Optivisor with the #5 lens and these are my favorite tweezers. I can tell they're my favorite because they are the hardest to find under the crap that piles up when my bench mess gets out of hand :winkgrin:

Stik, no way to ask that question in a wrong way LOL. Funny, I didn't think of it terms of how much but since you asked I added it up. The engine, cowl flaps, decals, and tires came to about $100 so I've ended up just about doubling the cost. Not the most expensive build so far, but it's up there. There will likely be a string of OOB builds after this.
