Are you kidding me, Wurger has a pristine setup. Envy?! If Wurger lived next to me I'd rob his house and do vile thangs to his dog. My only concern is that either he doesn't use those implements or is a completely ANAL neat freak. How can he keep all those files, tools, saws, brushes, air tools, bottles, mixing cups, calipers, etc so friggin' clean?!

Which is it, Wurger?
 
Making models gent is like a surgery or the tooth extraction.All has to be clean.With your tool Matt , you can shoe on a horse or on a goat only.

BTW it is a part of my set only.He he he .....

Is that better....?

Terry the Aztek airbrush I've got has 6 nozzles ,the differences of sizes are in colour.But I know you can get kits with something like 9 nozzles

(photo is of the set I've got)

Wojtek! Nice setup! (Envious)

Ha ha ha .....You are right Jan.My "forehead" it the most important tool.

But to be honest, how many tools do we need for modelling? My friend who makes a carton models use scissors. a metal ruller, a pencil, and some paint for carton edge colouring only. And a glue of course.
 
True that Wojtek! , I've got a knife ,some sandpaper and that airbrush and thats about it!

Sorta the reason why my models turn out the way they do
 
Thanks for the pic Daniel, it will prove useful. Can you tell me the width of the smallest paint spray pattern, and the nozzle colour. I'm looking for anything in the region of 1.5 to 2mm. If the kit I saw has something like that in the 3 nozzles included, I'll get it. Thanks very much.
I agree with Wojtek; the tools i use most, apart from paint brushes and sometimes the airbrushes, are my scalpel, tweezers, sometimes the 'helping hands'. The rest have been accumulated, and get used when needed.
 
Yep it is true.Most tools we gathered , aren't used for long time often.Personally I use a scalpel ,a razor-saw, some files and sandpaper , scissors, a metal ruler, a needle.
 
Hi Terry ,Will have to take to do abit of research .With my little experience with the airbrush I haven't noticed the difference in tips (I'd imagine with 9+ different tips they're bound to have what your looking for)

I'm sorta afraid to use some of them ,I keep on thinking I'm just gonna end up stuffing something up
 
You would think so Terry wouldn't ya! From memory it doesn't and I remember getting pretty F**ked off wandering why it didn't

Il take a look tomorrow for ya mate
 
Thanks Daniel, no rush mate. The one I've seen has three nozzles, which I guess are broad, medium and fine, but if I know which colour is which etc, I can get an idea of what's what re the actual sizes.
 
Thanks awfully old chap! I think that will probably answer the question - just need to check which nozzles the airbrush kit has.
 
Okay, my package arrived today and I spent some quality time alone... in my garage... just me. Here is my JLC razor knife that I have just procurred. I had been working with jeweler's saws (miniature hacksaws/bowsaws), but these will come in handy for those flap/aileron/rudder mods that I've been wanting to try. Also, it comes with spacers so that I can do ribbing or other fuselage details (bought some .010 flat sheets ). Also, I decided to purchase a scriber for doing panel lines that I eff up, when doing my amateur putty work (occurs often, I assure you).

Nice Matt(looks pretty lethal)

Terry I think they just chuck in different nozzles for every kit

Because I've seen(like the pic above of the kit) with different coloured nozzles and mine didn't have a purple tip it had an orange instead ,Yet both came with 6 nozzles

Hell Jan $15 odd bucks for a tip!
