Tools

The tools you need.


Intro

This time i want to talk about the tools you can use for modeling.

We all use different tools, it depends on what YOU like. There are so many things on the 
market, some are expensive, some are cheap.

I will talk about the tools that I use. So you have an idea of what you can use if you want to start with scale modeling.

My personal brand that i use is Revell. They have many thinks you can use and you can have a look in the catalog.




Ready to cut   

I use simple tools for cutting the parts from the sprue.

Nail clippers.






Scalpels.
  


If the parts are cut of, i use nail files to smooth out the parts.




For the small part you can use tweezers.





For the heavy duty you can use a Dremel.




Revell also brings out a starters kit with everything in it.





Ready to build

When the parts are cut of and ready for assembly, this is what i use. 

For gluing everything together i use liquid glue for plastic from Revell.




For fixing the pieces. 






Ready for paint


When everything is glued together, you are ready to paint your model ... this is where it gets interesting....

There are so many different paints 

I use Revell paints at the moment, but i'm going to test other paints to see what the results would be. You can follow everything on this blog ...

So let's see what i use for the painting.


First you have to mask some parts of. 




Maybe you can use latex gloves to keep it clean.




Brushes.
