You should have a quality set of side flush cutters. These will leave little of the fret on the PE piece. Also some good files to remove the the rest of the fret and finish the piece off. Be very careful cutting smaller pieces as they love to fly into that modeling black hole that surronds everyones...

I use a basic butane powered soldering iron for most work. It's about the size of a fat marker. I find it heats up faster than a plug in pencil type and definately gets hot enough for my soldering needs. The downside is you have to fill it with butane for lighters. The other upside is it's cordless ...

I don't think the LED would light up the whole inside of the engine nozzel. You would probably be better off using an incandescent bulb in a socket (Ma...

Good deal. Here's a soldering tip. Keep a damp sponge handy while soldering. Periodicaly wipe the tip on the sponge to remove excess solder. This helps the tip stay clean and hot. I have to make a new base for it but I just finished rewiring my BOP over the weekend. I built this when it first came o...

I did this to my BOP years ago. It looks good too. I used 4 reds for the engines, 1 red for the tube, and 2 to light up the interior. I cut out the windows and filled them with white glue. The reds I bought were in a multi pack from Radio Shack. I think the 2.0 mcd are going to be pretty dim. I woul...
