A lump of modeling clay, some masking tape and good tweezers are about to become your best friends at the modeling bench.

Hopefully you're following my article(s) on this.

I just opened Aber's SHerman detail set, including the 20 odd Ma Deuce detail set.

OK, I was fully prepared to deal with small parts.  I bought an Etch Mate, which I don't yet have.

But COME ONE, there are pieces that are so small I cannot understand how I am supposed to even hold them, let alone bend the .50-.75mm tabs.

Anyone have any tips? I plan on getting a mag visor tonight, but what the heck am I suppoed to do?
