Modelling Tools and Equipment.

This is my temporary set-up, still looking for a permanent place. Not shown is a pillow case attached over the exhaust to catch excess paint. The label says its 1/40hp running at 2200rpm. As mentioned above it was used to extract moisture from pulp samples in the papermill I used to work at. The front opening, which measures 18.5"x16.5" had 2 sliding doors which I removed to make the larger opening. A quick look online shows that the blower/exhaust is worth $1900 which includes a plexiglass enclosure. My 1:48 Harvard mule for scale

Look ideal for accidentally sticking into your thumb

I have a similar chisel, can't remember exact size, but I think it's 3mm or 4mm, and it's extremely useful.
It's a model chisel though, not a "moedl" chisel ......................

Jesus, I am waaaaay under-prepared for this hobby...

Don't worry, I started with 1 paint brush and a starter set of paints. I used these tools to build a Jeep Wrangler. Now, I have over 100 different brushes, 2 or 3 of each color in existence that have paints, and I am build planes for modelling shows. Even if you are struggling to spend a ton of money, only get bare essentials (paint, X-Acto, paint brushes.) Even to this day, most people have nice model setups, I just have an old desk and some cardboard so I dont damage my desk.

IMHO eleven years has been enough for Les to gather a nice set of modelling tools.

Beware buying because it's a Modeling tool!!!!!!!
Wait until you see a NEED for one!
If you can control the urge to buy because it's a Modeling tool......!

As a demonstration of my lack of control - recent additions to the toolkit...

The local online hobby shop has not had RB Productions stuff in stock for over 12 months. They finally got some in last week so I decided to go "all in" and get everything I had been looking at. Already used the scale rule and getting the scriber unpacked, hoping that they work as good as they look.

I really like the look of the protractor. My wallet is twitching.

Where did you get that film of me.

Looks like a great addition to the tools. I use Tamiya's saw set now almost exclusively for removing parts from sprues, very little clean-up required, if any

Where did you get that stuff? I've been looking for the Mini Rivet-R everywhere.

Hey Andy - local online only hobby shop got them in recently - their name is BNA Model World. Pretty sure it would be expensive to get them shipped to Canada from here.

Thanks Grant
