Hiya!
I have been very happy with my cutters. I also build Metal Earth sheet-metal kits, and the cutting
tool they sell is very precise and very sharp. I have not ruined a Falcon part yet.
Go to Amazon and search for Meatal Earth Tool Kit. $12.

I'm back! Ugh, I got busy with a ton of things, but I finally got back to work today. I've been working on the cannons. I took them apart and filed down the mold lines. They were really bugging me. Then I went ahead and took a shot at drilling holes for the barrels. I didn't think I could get 2 holes for each barrel so I just did one. I'm going to be painting the barrels, but I'm waiting for some tips before I get started on that. I do plan on doing some work on the frame today. I saw that someone had decided to paint their frame black. I'm thinking of doing the same because I like the look, and it'll also give me a way to brush up on my painting skills.

Nice work, they are not easy to do. Done mine a while ago, started with a very tiny drill piece to centralise it then used a bigger drill piece to finish off. Once you've painted it up it will look so much better than not drilled out. Well done

Speaking of painting, does anyone know a good place online to purchase paint? It's just so much easier for me than going to down to Michael's or a local hobby shop. There just isn't anything around me that isn't an annoyingly long drive.

Hobbylinc.com is one of the places I buy from. I would check them out. Best Regards,
