Modelling saws & buying in the UK

Can anyone give me any advice when it comes to buying modelling saws? I\'m tempted to get a GW one, but I\'ve always found their craft stuff to be overrpriced and expensive to replace when it inevitably breaks.

I found a razor saw set here
but I\'m not sure it\'s suitable.

A UK based supplier would be great if anyone knows of one...

I had this dilemma recently. I wanted a modeller\'s (jeweller\'s) saw for fine conversion work and was reluctant to get a GW one for the same reasons you quoted. I was convinced I could get one easier and cheaper. Well 4 model shops later could I find one?
The only place I found one was at B&Q and it was the same price as GW\'s but without the extra blades. I bit the bullet and got GW\'s. It\'s adjustable and comes with a load of extra blades (none of which i\'ve needed to use). I\'ve used it quite a lot recently and must say I\'ve been impressed.

Regarding the razor saw, this is no good for fine work but great for straight clean cuts or cutting through figures etc. Do GW do one? I\'ve had mine years so can\'t really say whether or not theirs is worth the cash
