Frequently Asked Questions
The essential starter tools are plastic clippers to remove models from sprues, a hobby knife or file to remove mould lines, and superglue or plastic cement to assemble the model. These three items cover the basics for any new hobbyist.
A pin vice is a small hand drill used for drilling holes in miniatures — most commonly for magnetising weapon options, pinning fragile joins with wire or rod, and drilling out gun barrels for a more realistic finish.
Run a hobby knife or dedicated mould line remover tool gently along the mould line with a scraping motion. Files are also effective, particularly on metal or resin models where the lines are more pronounced.
A number 11 scalpel blade in a standard hobby knife handle is the most versatile choice for miniature work. Always use a sharp blade — blunt blades require more force and are more likely to slip.
Sculpting tools are not essential for basic assembly and painting, but are very useful for gap filling with putty, converting models, and any scratch-building or sculpting work.
