Tools
The most useful of all : A range of both modelling scalpels, and box-cutter type knives. 30cm Metal ruler and a small set square. Sharp dividers and scriber. Razor saw and aluminium modeller's mitre box. Small glass sheets stolen from cheap or old picture frames, used as a perfectly flat surface when glueing assemblies, or sandwiching assembies such as bogie underframes to keep them perfectly flat while drying and setting. Sounds strange but I've found glass sheet a perfectly good cutting surface too Various good quality tweezers - pointy, dog-leg, and blade style tips. Good quality, flat nail files - not the metal file type, more the emery board type. Pin vise and a range of 2mm and less drills. Kadee coupler height gauge. Optivisor - because I suffer Presbyopia. i.e I'm getting old! |
