DIY tools....

Post by Jagewa »

Nope not the power toys er tools, :lol: but those tools you've modified or made that you find indispensable for your modelling bench tool box...

The first one I saw mentioned in a modelling book is a sewing neddle stuck in a skewer, and the eye end broken/cut in half

great for drops of CA and accelerator.

Second is a tweezers..

The ones I filled down from a pair of the bottom wide things, my goto tweezers now..

So do you have any modified or new make hand tools you'd care to share?

Cheers

I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....
