From Lion's Roar comes another of their interesting set of etched metal detail pieces. These are about 1mm bolt heads.  No scale is given though they look to be applicable to items about 1/35 scale. No instructions are provided on their use, either. These are somewhat unique in the hobby in that there is no attachment point for these heads to the fret. I have enlarged a section of the fret to show this. Instead, there is a sheet of plastic on the front and on the rear of these item. One can easily peel back the thicker, blue backing sheet and with a toothpick, push one of these out. I'm sure that these will find great favor with builders who like to add this sort of detail to their models. The major benefit of these is that there is no cutting required. Simply free the head and glue it on.
