Proximitas

I owned an actual Monza Mirage. It was my very first car. The wide body panels had been torn off by someone prior to my owning it. I never could find a replacement set. Sadly, I got t-boned by a speeding driver broke my hand in the accident, but the car was toasted as the body had been completely sprung. Oh, how I miss that car. I built the MPC Monza Pro Street kit as a Mirage - scratch building my own body kit. I sure wish they would reissue these kits.

I have one X-Acto handle that I've had since I was in college. It is a high-end (I think at the time it was 3 or 4x the price of the normal ones) rubber covered handle one. I still use that more often than the cheap ones for the reasons the OP described. However, I am considering switching to scalpels instead of the traditional hobby knife from X-Acto. Anyone have pros or cons of one over the other?

I use a cheap pair of Chinesium nippers that came with my 3d printer for the thick quick and dirty cut at the sprue gate and a pair of $14 Toenail nippers for the close clean cut stuff. Then I finish up with diamond file and a 10000 grit glass burnisher.

Server migrations are never fun, believe me I know. Best advice I can give is make frequent backups and verify the data on the new system before deleting it off the old system. Also, a backup of the new pristine server before migration can be handy if things really go south.
