I ordered a couple of Trumpeter single blade nippers off eBay on July 28 from Hong Kong. They were in the mailbox today when I got home.

As much as I like the Dspiae ones, these seem to get into tighter spots a bit easier. And they're less than 1/2 the price. My current pair  cut so close to the surface, that I can often skip sanding the part after. 

 

I love my pair of these, I don’t cut large sprue gates though……I use a bigger set and go in with there beauties after…

Nothing like good tools - makes the job at hand much easier and more enjoyable.

Still bouncing back and forth between the Whirlwind and the Tempest Mk.II and I already have the Sea Fury in the display case - Fisher Models - my favorite build by far.

Keep 'rm comin

Phil, I've got a few different ones and use my oldest for cutting the big sprues like you do.  Honestly I probably have more than I need but keep buying them.

Got a package from HLJ the other day. A bit of variety in terms of subjects. 

First up is something on four wheels.

Back in '93, a Japanese garage kit maker made a beautiful T-Rex skeleton model. It was about $200 at the time. I found one in a store in Hong Kong but didn't get it at the time. Bandai just released this 1/32 kit for 1/4 the price and twice the size.

Lastly, another Zoids kit. They've got great box art that's for sure.

Oh, I like that skeleton.  I hope to draw my granddaughter into the world of models with Dino models...
