silly question i know but......

thought i'd ask anyway!
im 32 (for those that dont know lol) never smoked a day in my life and when fitting decals it can still be a shakey business sometimes.
is there any smokers on here that build models and if yes how the feck do you work with the shakey hands!

I dont smoke but getting a decal to fit right depending on the quality is a nervous thing for fear of fecking up

Even worse whan its a customer model and you have one set of decals as you will remember Paul with the crap stuff I had to get other sets of to look right

See that's your problem.... you should smoked as it settles your nerves + you will look really cool

I smoke and don't have shakey hands, it's only when I've been off the drink for about an hour I start to shake

Zimmer frames should be fitted with Hans in that case.

Just wait until you have arthritis affecting some of your fingers and then you can complain

... and for a sensible answer to the original, not so silly question: Get yourself a vice! OK, I know we all have them anyway - my wife says that my models and model making are my vice!

However, I have had a sneaky trial run with a new Dremel Multi Vice (it's a Fathers' Day present which I was checking for completeness,you understand!) and found it to be an excellent tool when cutting off the front splitter from a 6R4 bodyshell. Cut it off in one go, like an apple skin, then smoothed it off and no shaking. I'll be using it to hold models as I apply decals too, but not until after Fathers' Day, ahem!

Link to the vice on Amazon is here: £26.09 well spent, I'd say! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dremel-26152500JA-Multi-Vice/dp/B000QG79ZW/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1339505279&sr=8-17

Cheers, and happy tooling around... without shaking, Steve

I put them on with a paint brush-never touch them
