Okdoky Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I was asked about my travel boxes of scratchbuilding tools !!!!!!! Here is mine !!!!!! What do you use ?????? Firstly, a plastic biscuit box my cutting mat and larger tools including hole punch, metal plate and plumb bob for rolling tin foil flat plastic carry out tubs containing two part epoxy resin and a small home made multi hand with croc clips sharps, clamps and set squares mini drills, tweezers, embossing tools rifles circle cutters, folding tools, wire bending, tube cutting larger rifles, files, scribing, embosing and carving tools a selection of fine and course sanding tools What you see on the mats fits in the plastic carry out boxes. The four carry out boxes fit nicely with the metal sheet and larger tools in the biscuit box. The biscuit box, the cutting mat, my reference pics, plasticard sheet, strip profiles, wire and two ESCI 1/24 scale 109 Landrover kits, the Monogram Landy and the as built Lightweight Landrover all fit neatly into a plastic box of the type that fits under a bed. All to keep me sane on my holiday. Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be my most productive time in the whole year. Shows you how daft my schedules are these days. Hope you're not planning on getting that lot through airport security... Hamelldaeme for holidays these days. I have no problems that way as having spent my money on the house extension and with Arron, our latest addition, no money left to go abroad. Dunno what the Police would say with all the lethal weapons in my car. Some of them could even be considered as going equiped for car or house breakins. Never thought of taking stuff with me away, I go away to relax lol Radleigh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this is my form of relaxation. I can lose my self in contemplation for hours and be nudged by the wife to get me up the next morning having crashed out building into the next day. I only stress when I can't get a chance to model. Ergo, still lots of stress to get rid of !!!!!!! Must get of this PC, get out of bed and nick the caravan table again for some more building. Hopefully in-laws and Karen will take the kids out somewhere and leave me to fettle some plastic. Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I wish I had that many tools at home let alone to take away! And never mind airport security or the police I would never get it past the household security!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
