Can you tell me how you work with those tiny PE parts? What tools do you use to cut them, file them, etc?

[edit]
About the filing part, I think I found an answer. I bought sand files/sticks this morning (I use metal files to file plastic/resin parts, they don't work on fragile metal parts), and they do a great job on filing pe parts.

Thanks Marco, dunno about winning anything, I've got lucky the past couple of times, cant fool all of the people all of the time

Perseverance is the only way to work with PE, it is very frustrating dealing with those tiny parts! I use a mini file set, tweasers and a pair of long nose pliers (with a flat face). I also have a small metal base that I use for cutting and bending on.

Just got a Scale Motorsports nut and fastener set, haven't used anything off it yet. But it looks great because all the PE is attatched to a rubber sheet. No filing needed - PE heaven
