    Defeating the carpet monster?

    Saw this on a "life hacks" post and thought it might be a great idea for folk like me who have lost tiny parts to the dreaded Carpet Monster:

    Original post at - there might be more things you find useful for modelling, let us know if so!

    Great idea, sales of stockings by dodgy looking blokes will sky-rocket. Little do they know that it is modellers trying to find lost bits lol.

        Very useful for collecting loose scatter material and ballast when doing the scenery on my model railway layout.
        On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
        Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
        Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

          Very nice idea Alasdair. I will instruct Pauline on that one save me a great deal of time and problems. Keep her busy between cooking times.

            It does work, I've been doing it for years.

              I use a sock. Works just as well. As long as there is no holes in them that is ops:
