One of the knockoff” of the Shinden…sort off

John, I have no adequate words for your builds. All are educational, entertaining, next level, life-like, loose to perfect, well detailed and well, just amazing.

I would enjoy seeing you build this puppy!

I find these Micromark nipper tweezers pretty helpful for small parts. Actually outside of heavy sprue they are my go-to. https://micromark.com/cdn/shop/files/82393_R-2_b70df524-af8c-4b03-b8f5-dfe1bef425e2_1220x_crop_center.jpg?v=1716933951 Thay are out ot stock. I guess I'll have to check back.

I'll check those out. I got the pieces off t he sprue with no apparent damage, but they are just so thin.
