Designed for 1:8 scale models, but also suitable for other large-scale models such as the 1:6 Hot Toys and Blitzway models.
- With the cable tie sheet resting on a cutting mat, take the tool provided and pierce through the holes in the cable tie heads. Opening the holes in the heads will make threading the ties a lot easier during installation.
- Using a craft knife or scissors, carefully cut the tabs holding each tie into place. It’s best to only release individual ties as you need them, keeping the remaining ties safely protected on the frame.
- Place the tie around the cables you to intend to detail, and feed the tail of the tie through the back of the head. This is easier with a good set of tweezers, and for difficult to reach areas, loosely tie the cable tie further up the cable and slide into place before tightening.
- To tighten and secure the tie into place, first hold the head securely in place with some flat head tweezers, keeping the head at a 90-degree angle to the tail. Next, pull the tail of the tie through the head.
- Lastly, trim the tail back using a good pair of scissors. For the most effective look, it’s best to leave some of the tail visible and not to cut too closely to the head.
