Ez's 2014 summer kit build challenge

[ezdays]

Just in case someone thinks I'm kidding, or that I gotta man up to working with small parts, here's a picture of some that I still have to assemble. [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Those parts are just "a wee bit bigger" than the shackles and shackle pins I made, for the rigging on the 1/96 scale Pilot Schooner.

5X Optivisor, a self constructed bending jig, a couple of 4" needle nose pliers, and a pair of tweezers with, virtually, needle point tips. :o

Oh I forgot the most important tool - - - - an extensive vocabulary of "swear words", expressed loudly!
It doesn't do a thing for "model work", but it does help relieve the stress.

I would think that they should at least make these parts so that when they go flying off of your tweezers, you at least know which direction they went in. :o The thing is, that if you make the parts from scratch, you can at least make new ones, but when they give you four parts and you need every one of them, you're screwed when you lose or break one one.
