What kind of tools do you use in your workshop for kitbashing, scratchbuilding, and repairs? I want to try some "do it yourself" projects, but the only tools I have are the ones I use for assembling kits. My toolbox includes tweezers, hobby knives, files, miscellaneous cutting tools, eye protection, and of course, Band-Aids. ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm going to start small --- very small --- with a G-scale outhouse made from cedar or redwood that will weather nicely. But even that needs some precision cutting or mitering to make it fit together and look right.
I know there are miniature power tools available, but that may be overkill for me at this point. But..... I love to play with tools and gadgets, so I'm open to suggestions.
Please tell me which tools you have in your arsenal, the absolutely "can't do without" items for constructing and detailing your modeling creations.
