Mike SzwarcBeautiful work! Question from a 1:700 scale newbie: how do you attach the tiny parts to the toothpicks for painting?

Christian Lehmann AutoreHi Mike, first thanks for your coment. Fixing method depends on the size and weight of the parts. Mostly I drill small holes (0,5mm or smaller) in areas that will not be visible and glue the poited tootpick with a small drop of cyanacrylate glue. So I have to break it apart or pull it out of the hole when painting is finished. Other parts can olso be fixed with a liquid masking substance for example.
