Truly magnificent. May I ask how you cut the brass tubes? The cuts are very crisp, and I'd really like to use this to replicate MG barrels on some tanks.
Thanks, Kyle! I roll those tubes gently under a sharp scalpel blade, and true them up using a Northwest brand True Sander. I put a telescoping bit of wire in the tube to support it during cutting and sanding- those tiny sizes are delicate! http://www.enginehouseservices.com/products/The-True_Sander-_-NORTHWEST-SHORT-LINE.html
