Modelling Tools and Equipment.

[Airframes]

Thanks for checking Daniel. The link that Jan posted has been helpful, but when I checked the kit on offer, I don't know if it HAS got extra nozzles! They're mentioned, but not shown, and I might have been getting confused with the 3 paint jars that are included. Not to worry, I've seen a semi-pro 'brush that I think will do the job, just waiting for an answer to my e-mail query.
That looks like a quality bit of kit Matt. Very nice buy, which should do some good work for you. Must try to find a similar one over here, as my old 'tin' razor saw has seen better days!

Good shot Matt.

Nice stuff you guys have here. How much do all the different blades cost for the knife?

Wojtek what's the syringe for?

 

[Wurger]

These syringes are used for preparing paints for airbrushing . Also I use them when paint mixing is needed.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ah see now that's something I would've never thought of.

Hey Harrison, I was sorting out all my stuff this evening, my bench was a mess. I have loads of those craft knife/blade sets. PM your address, I'll send you over a spare one.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks!! I sent you a pm. !

Hmmm Terry?
Why don't you airbrush that lamp in the camo pattern and colours of your fave aircraft?
I mean: Computer geeks do their thing with casemodding, why not a desk lamp

Anyway, cool thread for those of us who hasn't yet started to accumulate stuff for model building, thanks for starting it.

 

[B-17engineer]

Couple things from my small collection of things.

 

[B-17engineer]

I've got more paints. I am usin them for my P-40 so I took them out.

 

[Wurger]

A nice set Harrison.

I suggest adding something for polishing of finger-nails. Like these below. These are very useful for polishing all glued and sanded seams on plastic models.

On picture 1 and 2 on post #31 what is that red pouch and what tools are in them? I noticed Jan had one too.


Okay! Sure I'll look for it!

 

[Wurger]

This is a set of jeweller files.

Drat! Went to the model shop today, and forgot to get some files!! Oh well, good excuse to go again tomorrow!
Maria, I might just do that to the old lamp, when my friend brings it back from repair! The d*mned thing blew up - and it's only 30 years old! Just can't get quality stuff these days.......

 

[B-17engineer]

Thank Wojtek. Just ordered The Jeweller files and now looking for the nail polishing thingy.

Now is that something that could be of use to me?

 

[Wurger]

The kind of tools is always useful.But it is not too neccesary for plastic modelling, contrary to this :

Oh, do you know people who do use the saws though? I'm looking for something like in the link you sent me now. hehe

Grobet Swiss Ergonomic Jewelers Saw w/ 144 2/0 Blades | FindingTools

It looks tempting but I'll look for things more like the link you gave me Wojtek. ! (Above link)


Is this similar to the link you gave me? (below)

In post #7 and picture 3, Jan's post, there is like a wooden box with blades in it, what's that for?

 

[Wurger]

No, the saw you sent t elink to is for general cutting I mean bigger and thicker parts ecpecially mould sprues atc.. for much prcise cutting you need the one I have sent the link.

In Jan's post the wooden box is a set of scalpels with different cutting edges that can be replaced.. Also the one in the blue box on right.
