Hi all
I read in the preview section that some of you were saying you have struggled in the past placing tiny brass pieces so decided to share this tip from my old tabletop battle minature days.
You need a toothpic or a match and some bluetac.
place a very tiny amount of bluetac to the end of your toothpic or matchstick and now you can easily get small parts in position and also push down on the matchstick for a few minutes til the glue goes off.
Once glued in positon remove the matchtick and bluetac and there you have it.
Trev
Ps hope this helps.
I also used this method for painting small parts so that I did not have to work around my fingers and can easily sink the toothpic into a large chunk of bluetac on the table alowing you to paint without having to hold the part or leaving the part to dry.
