I have finally got to make use of 3 purchases I made at the RB productions stand at Telford
[ATTACH]73831.IPB[/ATTACH]
Top is their scriber that works like a file rather than a sharp blade. Very controllable and a good supplement to the blade and pin types of scriber. I only got the blade from RB, John supplied the handle.
Below that is a fine detail brush made by Zuki-Mura (spelling?) that they are not themselves selling into the UK but RB got a supply and, I assume will be making it generally available here. It is without a doubt the best detail brush I have ever tried. It is well made, forms a sharp point and keeps that point and looked after should last a long time. It costs about a fiver, a bit more than most but is worth every penny. I cannot fault it. Simply a superb product to invest in.
Finally - the pencil - well it is not a pencil. It is for picking up and placing very small and light parts that are too small for tweezers. Particularly good for small pe but also good for small plastic parts. I have tried the 'sticky sticks' but I have not really found them that satisfactory and often getting the stick to 'unstick' from the part while leaving the part in place was a challenge. No suich problems with this tool. This tool is just perfect for the job and does not lose any stickiness - it can always be sharpened. The advice on the stand was to sharpen with a knife not a pencil sharpener, something to do with the circular motion of the sharpener not being very good for it. What I did was start off with a pencil sharpener and the finished it with a knife to get the point.
I know John stocks RB stuff - John - if you can source the brush and the 'pencil' too that would be great.... I thoroughly recommend them and will certainly want more of the ZM brushes in future.
