Dear modeler friends.
I like you to lend me a hand (never better said ;-) with this project: I am very excited about it because I think you´ll love it as much as I do but … it never hurts to have some feedback and hear what others have to say.
This product is the outcome of my own experience building models and electronic stuff and the annoyance I used to feel when handling small bits and pieces. But now, with fixÓ that´s water under the bridge: no more spared parts and contortionist postures to hold things in place. I explain all about it here (beware it´s work in progress!) and we´ll soon be launching an indiegogo campaign to ask your support

I am very interested in your coments and observations,

Thanks in advance

The set consists on two bodies with two magnetic spheres that can be used separately. The setting is very smooth, precise and fast. I think the final price will be around 25$.
You can watch a video here.

Dear friends:
We finally have our crowfounding campaign running at

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fixo-lends-you-a-hand

Its been a lot of work making the prototypes and refining all the details, but now we have all shorted out.
But we need your help to make it possible, so please spread the word.
We have some items at a very reduced price for early adopters, so hurry up and pick up yours.
Thanks for all your support.
