and up to what maximum size can you glue beetles, and insects in general, to the die

well - ("Let's go in a simple logical way... - Let's go together!" E. Ryazanov (c)) if the collector sets a goal, or even assumes the possibility of selectively or completely selling the collection, then they will be more willing to take an absolutely intact copy - pasted, and if we make a "choppy" collection, then we put everyone on dies!! or we will stake everyone - perhaps not everyone will buy it on a pin, but there is a strict order-this pleases the eye ... but this is just a reflection on the topic, in fact, I, for example, could not cope with the diverging elytra of a pricked tanner-I began to glue, but the weevils are pricked with a bang, I almost prick everyone's weevils; I think everyone decides for himself ... Okay, we're talking about size, twenty-millimeters (and more) I have no hesitation go to the pin-like this.

I don't like puncturing beetles.
I glue even large beetles on the dies, but they strive to scroll or skew the die, I
think you can prick 2 pins on both sides, just do something else so that the die with the beetle does not fidget between 2 pins, you can prick 1 more die below the labels, but it will help

What should I do? A follow the advice:

it is better to glue the beetle to the box , and seal the top with a die

But seriously, check out the "Photos of Collections" theme for Honza collections, at least here: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtop...0&#entry1358662 If you are not too lazy and "scroll through" other pages of this topic, you will see other of his masterpieces. And what is characteristic: he does not bother with the problem of "fashionable-not fashionable". What is rational to prick-pricks, what is more rational and practical(!) to glue-sticks. Probably, no one will dispute: his collection looks excellent-both from an aesthetic and scientific point of view. And the problem of fidgeting dies is not worth it, which is not surprising: fanatical adherents of the sticker create this problem for themselves.

and what (skoka) will I get for it? for each size I take 1000 dies, but with rounded edges! keep the rectangles.

all sizes are in any price list of any company, I do not understand what the question is

but there are the most popular

ones and I will outrage them

Have you tested your material? on varnish, hercules, needles of different sizes, solvent (what), turbidity in xx years? what is the thickness of the die 20*10 and 10*5?
I have no doubt that many people can "cut" and including me, but I buy chic dies from Paradox. so what is your "exceptional" offer? and it must be exactly "exceptional" in order to occupy its niche in the market, and this is at least the same quality, for less money

I propose to discuss progressive ways to mount large beetles, without pricking on a pin.
I tried gluing on a die across the body, and inserting 2 pins around the edges.
As a result, the beetle does not spin and looks normal, but this design is still not stable enough and when pulled out of the box, the die crawls between 2 needles.
I had an idea to cut a small block of solid foam under the die.
So the beetles will be at the same height, the beetle will not cling to the bottom of the box with its paws, and the needles will be better held perpendicular.
So far, I haven't found the right styrofoam, but I thought that it might crumble around the pins and be of no use.
Need something like traffic jams maybe?
What does anyone think about this?

The comparison with the sculpture is not literal. A pin for a beetle (specifically for a beetle, not Michelangelo's David) is a " pedestal, fulcrum, etc." Yes, and when a sticker is placed on the die, the pin does not go anywhere. Well, this has already been discussed on the forum. The main thing is different: with all the costs of tattooing, the beetle retains the advantages of a" round sculpture " (this is the term, you can look in the search engine). The point is not even in the convenience of determining the species, but in the perception of the beetle in the form that nature created it. that is, completely three-dimensional. And imagine David in the form of a relief. Who would know about it?

By the way, there are sculptures mounted on pins. If I'm not mistaken, almost all the figures on the roof of the Hermitage are supported from behind by either supports or screeds. When viewed from the side, it looks like pins. But let the people of St. Petersburg correct me.
