Doug,‘Parsing error’. Try reducing the image size to below 1 Meg
I usually reduce all my images to 800 x 800 pixels 1024 x 1024 max with no problems.
Thanks for the heads-up

I have absolutely loads of the retractable blades, Letraset. But for the life of me, I don't have more can find a blade holder for them.I use those retractable cutters from stationery shops with the 45 degree angle blade as opposed to the 39 degree ones. Sections can be broken off when that portion gets dull using the quick art studio method. Use it for everything from scraping, whittling, carving, glue application on plastic, paper, wood, polystyrene and resin.
I do have a set that Gary has from Aldi's I got when in Sydney but rarely use them. Have used the curved blade to slice off rivets and raised panel lines. Now I use a chisel blade for that

Ahhhh, but are still with all your fingers and thumbs!!! I wouldn't have been!!!!!Am I the only cheapskate who bought a box of 100 OEM "Stanley" blades years ago and is still using them for all my modelling needs ( I don't use a handle )
Yes Tim I was chuffed to bits , the guy selling them didnt realise what they were or how much they were worth , almost felt guilty getting them that cheap!What a find…..that’s about 80 quids worth
the same as me.. never needed anything else to be honest.Swann Morton 10A for 99% of knifework - if I need anything bigger, I have a Stanley knife!

I've never really got on with big blades like the 11 but have a few disposables for when they are needed. I have a handle with a straight 10a blade but that doesn't get used much either.
I use the small, straight 15a quite a lot for cutting straight lines in plastic, tape, etc along a straight edge but by far my favourite is the small, curved 15 which is used for cutting, scraping, chiseling and all manner of other things.
I find curved blades help for really delicate cuts too as you can put the blade in place and roll it along the curve, rather than swiping and risking a slip.
Use them for seams and mould lines as well.
Mostly 10 and 11's though sometimes a 10a. These seem to do everything I need.

Well that made an interesting read, so thanks everybody that commented, hope I've not missed any one out, if so sorry .Im a mix of No10, No15 and a general straight bladed craft knife. Stanley blades are on hand but only used for putting bends in etch!!
As I may have mentioned I have heaps of Letraset craft blades, the ones that can be snapped off when past their usable life - I just don't have a handle to use with them. I think Letraset no longer exist!!
No - but still have the box of Stanley blades I bought in 2018.... And it never seems to go down...Am I the only cheapskate who bought a box of 100 OEM "Stanley" blades years ago and is still using them for all my modelling needs ( I don't use a handle )
I am sure I have the equivalent in my tool box in the shed, I will let you know later today.Im a mix of No10, No15 and a general straight bladed craft knife. Stanley blades are on hand but only used for putting bends in etch!!
