Do you have a favourite tool? Maybe an ol' faithful one? An extremely useful one? Whatever!


I have a scalpel I bought in a local art shop way back in the mists of time. It must be a good 30 years old and has never let me down and has been used for just about every task I can think of.

Mine would have to be toothpicks and my craft knife. Had it quite a few years now.

Tough one. 


I could be tempted to say my favourite tool, or most used tool is the Internet ! I use it for research, kit reviews, finding paint, everything imaginable to help in my builds.


tools on the bench... I rather like my little hold and fold; the bug. But the ones I use the most are my Swann and Morten scalpels .good in the hand, flat so they don't roll off the desk and tail heavy, so if you drop it, it's not the pointy bit that hits your foot. (More often than not :/  )
