Cool tip and Tenax is almost impossible to get around here. I have found that a couple of the online hobby shops have it in stock. Last time I ordered 6 bottles and only paid 4 dollars for shipping and handling.
Not sure if this will help but I found that a set of torch cleaning drill bits work really well for drilling small holes and they are super cheap. Picked my set up at the local hardware store for less that 6 bucks.
I would have to buy at least 3. One to build straight out of the box,one to build modified and one just for kitbashing.I would also like to see a scale figure of Stacey.
