cog Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share #296 Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks gents. Mark, Sometimes I think it is to darn small for me too. Especially when the parts jump from between my tweezers ... The most horrible part is that you seem to overlook a lot of parts when you have something like a tower the size of this battleship type. On the other hand it keeps you sharp ... at least if you don't mess up ...
