The balsa strip cutter and wire brush pen aren't too expensive, but the chopper is very costly here in the UK, . I have seen some less expensive plastic ones, but the reviews are middling.

Hi Ryan,

They will help, they've already given me ideas on how to fine-tune my stonework and 'grout' between, so thanks again, .

I look forward to seeing some images, is your cutter the same as used on the YouTube clip, the Northwest Short Line Chopper II (see image below).



Cheers, ,

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the images, it looks a great bit of kit.

Does it have a 'stop', or similar device, that allows you to cut the strips down to smaller tiles of a consistent length? It's one of the main criticisms I'm finding of the cheaper versions, you have to cut the lengths by eye.

The cheapest I've found it so far is just over £72, incl. post, in the UK. From the States, it's much cheaper until you add post, then it comes out at about £77, but then I could also be hit with import tax, ...either way, it's a big outlay, .

Thanks again, cheers, ,

I think you're trying to bankrupt me with all the goodies you're showing me, . The Masterpiece Models bits and bobs aren't generally silly prices, imho, but the postage from stateside sellers seem to double, if not triple the cost, ...I'd been looking at their 'corr-u-gator', but did a double take at the postage cost, .

Cheers again, ,
