Nice tips on how to do it. You'd be surprised how many don't know anything about it.

Pinned my first model this past weekend. My friend gave me some tips as well. Never knew such a thing, but it makes so much sense. Thanks for a great video

That is really cool. I am a newbie to pinning so I'm really glad you posted this. Thank you!

Perfect timing! I want to pin the mirrors on my Chaser kit.

Great tips for someone like me that has shaky fingers. I'm famous for smearing glue with side mirrors. Thanks!!!

Great tip video! When I did contest models I would use pins to hold certain parts together (hood sides etc.) so they could be removed for display, also helps in the assembly process.

I just started pining parts and I find that I like the process. Great video.🤓👍

That's nice. Now I can use that to mount exterior door mirrors, and worry less about breakage. I have used small brass tubing, to fabricate drill guides to center the drill point. This is good to do a perfect center where, like the '40 Ford kits have the button to attach the gas cap. I am certain that the cap is dead center. Something else that I have done, is that I have a scrapped '48 Ford convertible kit, that I cut the rear fender out of. Then scribe cut the gas cap cover door out. And made a template to scribe cover doors on some of the '40 Ford sedan, and coupe hot rod project builds. I do these in the '50s style rod builds. This looks good.

I'm so glad I scrolled back on your videos, Adam. I needed this one

Nice video, Adam. It's funny, the tips we take for granted sometimes we forget about those who may not know these tricks. Then again, that's why we have channels, lol.

Great idea. I pin all my old roll cages usually with styrene cuz my hobby shop doesn’t carry k&s wire that small. 👍👍

Nice how to video. Its something I do without a second thought which I'm sure most beginners don't know about.
Model on!

Nice overall presentation. Good In-depth understanding on how to use them and description on all items you use.

Pins are a great idea. I use them for mirrors, handles and wheels. Like you mentioned you can dead center your part with less mess. Thanks for sharing.

Adam great tip for pinning I do it the same way I need to get some of that 0.15 wire thank you for sharing

[bkmodelcars]

Thanks for the tip. My biggest problem is like learning or rear end to get my two pieces where I got the hole in the same spot great video thanks for sharing

Great tips! I have been using pin-cushion pins, but those are often too thick for tiny parts. I will try your suggestion of using thin-gauge wire rods and finger drillbits
