George would love a Topic. That was the chocolate bar advertised as having a hazelnut in every bite, and squirrels love hazelnuts…….snicker snicker snicker……

Like the nuts in snickers too.....

Just received a delivery from John.

I asked a while ago about mirco modelling chisels and John had these in the shop. So i have taken a punt and bought them. Also got a couple of brushes for painting figures too.

Might do a review on the chisels once i use them

I'll second that, my one and only micro chisel is annoying me.

Very nice, do those energy saving bulbs throw out enough heat?
(And I'll not comment on the wiring.......)

Yep, gets hot in the box. Left the wiring like that so I could see if the light is on with the lid shut :anguished::smiling3::smiling3:

put a 1/5 head in for about 2 hrs and it was nice and dry, my old bigger box took at least twice that long.

Mick let us know how the rivet maker performs please .

[Guest]

I have a Trumpeter one that in my mind looks exactly the same (I haven’t actually compared the two), and it’s very much intended to replicate flush rivets on aircraft models. Run it over the surface and it will leave a line of little dimples — not suitable for armour models at all.
