It's rare for me to get modelling related gifts for Christmas, but this year I got a new cutting mat. It was badly needed as the old was neither level nor particularly self healing due to paint and glue residue.

Scratching a surface the first time is always difficult. Something so new and smooth - the first scratch/bend/cut seems like vandalism. I have made the first cut already and even the next 20! The mat is a tool on the way to good looking results. Consequently I had no feelings of sentimentality when the old one was disposed of. It has helped med create great models in several scales.

| A last goodbye! Having served me for more than 15 years its retirement is well deserved. |
