How do I remove parts from the sprue?
The short answer is carefully.
The best way is with a sprue and plastic cutter but always be mindful of exactly where you are cutting as it is all too easy to cut in to the model components if you are not familiar with the parts that make up the kit.
That is why you should always go through the instructions to see how the whole model fits together. I don’t know about other modellers, but I am guilty of not reading the instructions and cutting bits in the wrong place.
But when you have done it once, you don’t do it again. So hopefully you will never do it after reading this.
