Hey there. I guess I should probably keep all the PE sprues, since the brass can probably be reused to create my own details on future modeling projects.
My question is: what tool(s) should I use to cut my own pieces out of a PE brass sheet? My sense is that an #11 blade is not the right way!
I use kitchen shears most of the time. I use an older worn #11 blade for scribing the fold lines. I’ve posted a few different times on here how I do it, with photos.
You can also use various punch sets to get disc shapes, or to punch circles into your pieces.
That looks good!
Can you share a couple links to those posts you’re referring to?
Thanks!
