I need some help to get to the painting stage - I have a mess of really fine resin minis (from Arena Rex) and am a massive tool when it comes to getting things off of the sprues. This resin stuff is so brittle and tiny compared to good strong metal!

I'd used side cutters previously, but they're too clumsy for the size of the sprues and pieces attached to the sprues. Can anyone recommend some very fine clippers that can be used with this type of medium? And any other tools that might be good to have? (I've got a regular assortment of knives and other things you'd need for working with pewter or a more hardy resin or plastic)

Thanks in advance because I know you guys will have some kind of info for me.

Thanks guys. I'll see if I can find those tweezer-style clippers anywhere, they look about perfect.
