Introduction to common tools
This chapter mainly introduces the basic tools needed to make a metal structure model.Other special auxiliary tools can greatly improve the production speed and accuracy of the model. However, because it is not used except when making models, it is not recommended for ordinary players to prepare to avoid wasting money. Such tools will not be introduced here.
1 - Utility Knife/Carving Knife -
Carving knife is an indispensable production tool, mainly used to cut the required model parts from the board to facilitate subsequent production. I personally recommend a carving knife that is held like a pen. In actual use, compare the utility knife, because the operation is similar to holding a pen, you will get a more comfortable operating experience than the utility knife.
2 - Tweezers -

3 - Transparent liquid quick-drying glue -
I believe that the role of quick-drying glue does not require me to talk nonsense. Whether it is bonding models or bonding other objects are very commonly used tools. Please note that a transparent liquid model must be used. This will not leave unsightly marks on the model.
In actual use, it is recommended to prepare several toothpicks. First, drop the glue on the box or other smooth surface of the model. Use a toothpick to moisten the glue on the model, so you can easily control the amount of glue and prevent overuse.
After a toothpick is used for a period of time, the head will solidify some residual glue like a picture. We can cut off this part and continue using it. After all, when enjoying the fun of making models, don’t forget to protect the environment :))
The above are the basic tools used when making metal structure models. Follow the preparations in the article to start the fun-filled model making process. Let's get started!
