              Just arrived from El Greco Miniatures. Really impressed by the quality of Black Crow's products - I got these three for a vignette/diorama. And a chance to practise blending smooth skin tones on their youthful cheeks!

              Although theyre all 75mm scale, the girls are dwarvish, I guess - just 50mm from the soles of their big feet to their eyeballs.

              And the minotaur is also '75mm', but will tower over them.

                      Have to admit Bob that i really need to get some more CA that gives a little more time to place things correctly. I've normally gone for the CA gel but there wasn't any available locally last time i needed some. Might have to look into that stuff

                        Hi Al, how's tricks?

                        I did a little experiment after it arrived using other so called so cure CA, the VMS stuff won hands down. Allowed me time to get a thinned cocktail stick and move the PE before it stuck, good Stuff, honest

                          Hi Bob
                          Those scissors are great. They are superb for cutting the annoying little nibs off a piece of PE. That VMS Flexi CA is good stuff. I do like VMS products. They also do a very thin Flexi CA which wicks into joints beautifully.

                            Must admit,since using a lot Tamiya masking tape recently...
                            ... And some masking sets, I've often thought of getting some serious scissors...
                            Nice one Bob

                              I use Surgical Gum Scissors for cutting PE off the fret- very sharp - I used to use a scalpel on a porcelain tile, but the scissors are much neater & easier
