Hey those jigs look great!! However, I did notice some thing about the vise. I have the exact same one. I think the vise tip is up side down. It needs to be turned 180. You may have to take it apart, so that the handle which tightens the vise is turned the right way too. I did the same thing, untill someone notice it and told me. Then, I looked at the directions and sure enough, I was using it upside down. However I say, if you like it that way-do it. I turned mine. Anyway, the jigs look great and I love the 1/2 moon eyes, How do you do that?

Thanks for the info...I paint the eyes with Testors model paint...I paint a white eye...let it dry, and comeback with the Black eye forward. Touch it up with a little nail harder after.
