Could you give an example of how you use them? I can see that the v's would hold the hull of a ship or fuselage of an aircraft. What are the smaller H-beams (or I-beams, hey that's my handle, cool) for?

Ahhh, rubberband anchors. Gotcha, very nice! I guess that's a 1/32 A-10. 1/48 is the biggest stuff I will every make (lack of space) so I'll have to make smaller versions.
