Hi All
I have tried to search for a list of Tools, Substances and other odds and ends that are considered either "must have's", or items to aim at getting, and why. As I am a fairly newcomer to the hobby (not having actually built anything yet save for a few card buildings), I feel that such a list could be useful to a newcomer. If one exists, please point me in that direction! :help:
Depending what others feel, this could become a sticky for future reference?
So what I would like to find out from you lot, experienced or otherwise, is, what do you have that you consider essential, or close to it, and why? I am not necessarily worried about brands unless there is a particular brand that stands out from the rest for the majority. I would like to know this in the following categories (but do not limit yourself to these in case I have forgotten one).
- Tools (for Baseboard Building)
- Materials (for building baseboards)
- Other bits (for Baseboards)
- Tools (for the modelling of trains or scenery)
- Paints, Thinners, Varnishes etc
- Fillers
- Electronics
- Cleaning Products (materials or equipment)
- Spares (what should we have in reserve?)
- Any other odds and ends
As responses come in I would like to add them to a list like the above, so I would like to consider this a living post. Thrash out ideas, as I guarantee that your opinions will not match up 100% so if there are differing opinions, I would like to know what the pro's and con's are and try to come to a general consensus.
Hopefully I at least, and other's might learn something from this!
Cheers
Andrew
Don't worry about it Andrew, I would like to add a vacuum cleaner and a good bottle of Scotch.
Or a few bottles of Speights (oops, sorry, Andrew.... South Island beer!) :uneasy:
