If you don't have any, a good pair of needle nosed tweezers is pretty much essential when rigging, for those of us equipped with sausage fingers.

I'd forgotten how tiny these were until I saw it the other night. Make sure you have superglue and kicker on stand by for the rigging!

I am currently building a roden 1/72 DVI and it is driving my nuts, my copy of the DVII by them was a piece of crap and ended up in the bin, just hope my efforts turn out as good as yours.
