I've now got bags of 1mm, 2mm and 3mm half round (ie domed) as well as 1mm hexagonal for bolt heads.
Thanks for that idea Rik.
I've got assorted sizes of domed ones but had no idea they come in hexagonal as well!

I'm a big fan of round nail art gems (for modelling purposes I should add. RAILWAY modelling...) but didn't know they came in hexagonal varieties. I can see 1mm hexagonal glitter shapes, but they're rather lacking in depth - have you found something thicker, Rik?
Thanks,
Andrew.

No idea why, but I have only just seen this thread. Superb work, that really looks something special now, great job

Hi Andrew
No mine are quite slim. Not had cause to use them yet. I suppose, if we are very careful, we could try a double thickness, though the thought of lining up the edges isn't one I relish.

Hi Andrew
Not sure if these are any thicker (depends what 'chunky' means) - I've sent off for some and will let you know.

PS - What a strange hobby this is. Who'd've thought we'd end up discussing the merits of different types of nail art adornments?

Thanks Rik! And don't worry, I've heard there are far stranger corners of the internet than this one...
I found some 1mm hexagonal plastic rod which might do the trick if these don't...
Sorry for the minor thread hi-jack - it's in a good cause!
Andrew.

It definitely is worth the diversion - hex nail art - I love it - small bag ordered ready for my next build!

Thank you very much
I have submitted it to one of the magazines in the hope that it gets published, just playing the waiting game now

Brilliant - yes it can take a few months for it to appear based on my experience

I think it largely depends on what other articles he has waiting to be published - to get a balance of content in each issue.
