PE and Black Posterboard

This may be old hat for some, but right after taking some pics of my inprogress model that had been backed up by a black piece of poster board, I continued working with the PE parts and found that life was much easier. It provided an excellent contrast to the brass and there was no hunting and pecking. Much like Aber does when it packs their PE sets. It's only $0.50 at walmart and also serves a half way decent cutting mat.

Hope this helps someone.
