Dude, I’m cutting corners on the block because I physically can’t seize a block that small the historically proper way.  I don’t know why.  Ask a doctor as I am not one.  
 

I have all the tools I need.  Clamps, third and fourth hands, a half dozen hemostats, magnifying glass, etc.  I simply cannot get my fingers to work with that small a line.  I’m happy you can. 
 

I managed to seize a block today.  Under magnification it looks accurate to me.  

Dude, why didn't you say so? When I had that very same problem decades ago, that's exactly what I did... I asked a doctor. A microsurgeon, to be exact, and he showed me how. Now, with the magic of the internet, you don't have to ask a doctor. Just study the medical school instructional videos on YouTube. These are basic essential ship modeling skills that aren't in the kit instructions.
