HLJ has them for about $10 + shipping. LINK And DragonUSA's store has them for about $13 + shipping LINK So not very much considering. There are quite a few other sets available as well. They do have some 1/350 Nano Dread sets also. Cheers, Jim

Sounds like it should be enough. And they're nice and cheap on HLJ at the moment. I might have to pick a set or two up for a couple of projects. Thanks
