Can't wait to see more progress pics!
It's 1:43. If you check a couple of the pictures you can see it sat with my (normal sized!) scalpel and file. Hopefully that gives an idea of the actual size of the model.

For the smallest tube I use a small pair of sharp snips to cut the tube over long and then file the end back to shape, the tube is very soft and not much bigger tahn a thick peice of wire. For larger tube I keep a couple of small tube cutters around, but I don't uyse them taht much. Also a small vice and razor saw can be quite handy, or a cutting disk in a motor tool if you're feeling very lazy!!!
