Besides the company webshop, there's BNA Model World in Oz, Victory Models in Florida, and others -- put "RP toolz leaf maker" into Google and check the returns.

Excellent review Darren. I have both the maple and oak leaf cutters and they are every bit as good as your review shows. Also, if you use a freshly fallen leaf to cut from the edges curl up nicely as your mini leaf dries out.

Well, I only ask because not all of us live overseas and this is a Hungarian company. Thank you for the information!

I order from everywhere, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, UK, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Canada and I'm in the US. Never any problem, no customs fees, prices are much lower than you could find IF the item was available in US (95% of the time it isn't anyway).
Be bold and daring! :-)
Cheers,
Christophe

These are all very nice, I'm sure, but one that did, say 1/48 and 1/35 would be personally more useful. Those 1/16 leaves are HUGE! Hell, in braille scale you could use one as a jeep tarp...
