Hello!
A new Snapshot is available: Make straps for scale models from tape and wire. This is an easy method to improve details on models, whether its for tack and harness, seat belts, webbing, etc. Remember, every Snapshot comes with a downloadable PDF you can save on your computer for viewing offline.
