We all have a Selecton of tools and things that we tend to use time and time again and also we sometimes buy a new thing and think to ourselves why we never got it sooner

Whilst wtg for something to dry I took a photo of some of the tools I use a lot and new things I think are fantastic
Out of this picture things which are great
PE Cutting mat and holder, I also use this for plastic small parts as well
Number 9 blade for my scalpel, great for getting that flat edge when cutting
Flexi file, great for smoothing out curves
And Mr Cement, best way of sticking things together

WHAT'S YOUR FAV TOOLS ETC ?

I used one almost everyday in my old job!
We used it to hold Circuit boards while fixing them! Very versatile!

Good luck with yours!

My best buy so far has got to be the flory models sanding/polishing sticks. After using the pound shop stuff for ages, I splashed out on these, and I must say, they are a huge improvement! I kick myself for not getting them sooner. When I ordered them, I was a bit tipsy (that's when I do most of my shopping!) so I got the full set of washes as well. I've had a bottle of the dark dirt and mud brown for about six years now, and the versatility is amazing. If you watch his vids on YouTube you can see a multitude of uses for them.

PS. I am in no way affiliated with Flory models products, I just think they are real quality stuff made specifically for us modellers!
