General Tools
Chapter 1: General Tools.
Most modelers the world over use the same basic tools, but here are my primary ones.
For cement, my choice is Tesotrs liquid glue along with an old paint brush for the application.
I use an angled Xuron cutter for the removal of attachment points, and a wire cutter, for cutting through thicker runners if I can’t get the Xuron in.
There is probably not a modeler out there who doesn’t own Xacto knife. I have a few different ones, but generally use the same one as I am most comfortable with its feel. Why I own different types of blades for these is anyone’s guess, but trusty old number 11 blade is the one I always seem to use.
Other tools are my assortment of tweezers, files, and my favorite sanding sponge that is well past its prime, but I can’t find a replacement that I like.
Not pictured, but will be used later when I need to cut PE, is a hard, flat, smooth Tile as would be used on a tile floor. Also a small brush, as often found in an electric razor kit, is used to clean up pastic particals from sanding.
