My greatest fear in working with etched brass is cutting them then losing them when they launch into the air. A solution to this is an article I read in the recent FS mag. Cut the pieces while they are still in the bag, but after you have taken the photo-etched sheets and washed them to remove the mold release agents.
The advantage to working with photoetch is the level of detail available that you don't have to duplicate by scratchbuilding. 8)
