The coarser step of the torx line with a 1.1 mm head. It will be appreciated by builders in larger scales and by anyone who wants to set the load-bearing joints apart from the small hardware on a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
The higher up the range of sizes you go, the more plainly a part says what it holds. A 1.1 mm head no longer comes across as hardware but as a structural element. Worked out to 1:12 it gives 13.2 mm, that is the head of a screw that on a real machine joins the engine to the frame or holds the lower fork yoke.
In larger scales the proportions turn around. In 1:9 it matches a screw of roughly ten millimeters and in 1:6 it drops to just under seven, so there it becomes fine hardware instead. The size of the part is absolute and does not change with the scale – what changes is only what it represents on the model.
With the coarser steps it matters more than with the small ones how much space the head has around it. If the screw sits right by the edge of a cover or in a recess, work out first whether it will fit there with its offset. A part set in so that it overhangs the outline gives away the oversizing at once.
Tweezers with fine tips and slightly roughened jaws are useful for the build. Smooth tweezers like to shoot a coarser head away, and searching the carpet is seldom successful. So cover the working surface with light-colored paper, on which a piece that springs away can be seen.
