| Modelling Tools and Equipment. G.I.Jive was asking about the tools and equipment some of us modellers use, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to show some of the stuff I have used, and accumulated, over the past 30 to 40 years. Yes, there's at least one or two bits here that I've had since I was 16! The first pic shows the main three storage case I keep the bits and pieces in, when not in use. On the left, a 'free-with-a-gallon-of-oil' plastic tool box, which contains such items as my mini-drill; in the centre, the main case for paints, brushes and other essentials, and on the right, a lunch-box (!) that holds the compressor, airbrushes and accessories. Picture 2 shows most of the paints and bits and pieces, whilst Picture 3 shows a selection of tools, such as the mini-drill, vice etc. Picture 4 is mainly the cutting tools, many and varied, whilst Picture 5 is my 'cheapo' compressor, a pair of different nozzled air brushes and other bits and pieces. Finally, the last picture is of my faithfull, much travelled and battered 'angle poise' lamp, fitted with a 'daylight' bulb. There is a lot more, but I didn't have room to spread it all out! |

| Ah! I thought that at first, then decided it looked a bit small. Good idea, but I just use my mini vice, although I avoid PE so don't have the need anyway. |

| Here's mine. I have a Dremel Tool (high speed power drill), a vice and a drill press from way back. Also have a 30yo Badger Airbrush with two different Paasch brushes that are VERY basic. Here is the rest of my crap. This is my basic kit. Have other stuff that floats around, but you get the gist.
