How To Write An Offer On A Property Sample

tools of the trade

words: an overview of tools useful for modellers.
start with the files: great for cleaning up the pieces from the molding defects, there are several sections, although the most popular are the mouse's tail (second from right) and the square (fourth from right).

Below are the clippers to cut corner (yellow) and cut straight (blue, middle): never remove the part from the mold with your bare hands! The tweezers shown
are the type to be an electrician, with a flat head (blue, right), round (top left) and curve (top right):

step further, we have a set of tweezers for manipulation of smaller pieces (useful-release, left), a cutter (cutter) and various types of glue, personally, I use the general assembly for the Attak, attaccatutto in the tube for large areas and the "Extreme Repair" (Pattex, small tube in yellow and black) to most difficult assemblies. By chance, I discovered that the parts in white metal stick more easily if you put on the Attak and Repair Extreme on the other!

not a substitute for the tweezers to spring to tighten the pieces during the gluing or catch the smaller ones during staining. Note the guy at the top left, which has a block to adjust the hours:

Wanting to make changes on the pieces, it might be useful to have a soldering iron (or a pyrography) with interchangeable tips of various shapes . In this case, the support also includes two support arms that open with tweezers.
I use it primarily to make the Zimmerit on tanks, but has also proven itself to bend plastic parts or simulate bruises.

Finally, a minitrapano variable speed with a wide construction of drilling and milling can solve any need arise.
Notice how the gear is brand totally unknown to the general public is also more economical and reliable than the brand, is also fully compatible with all the tips and accessories parts.

As for paints and brushes, I suggest you attend the fine arts areas of large hardware stores and shopping centers: acrylic paints for sale in these shops have more or less all the same performance (unless you do not seek special effects), the same for brushes, which still tend to wear more quickly on uneven surfaces of the models than on canvas. Remember to buy really cheap to practice the method of dry brush ( drybrush )!
All items listed have been purchased at discount (LIDL) or during the sales in shopping centers: almost all the modeling tools can be effectively replaced with surrogate non-specialist at the price lower.
The list is not complete and could never be, given the different needs and the different individual approaches to problems, but I hope it is still useful.
If you want an example of how to organize the space, I described my work station in the post Sancta Sanctorum: the table model
