Scale Paper Models - Bases #4 (Extra materials)
Model kit comes as a booklet which means you will need little bit extra stuff to be able to build it.
Most of it you would find easly in every household.
First you need glue and it is good to have two different types:
fast drying - to assemble small parts and join things together
and slow drying - to glue large areas ie. to glue large parts of skeleton on stiffening cardboard
the cardboard itself could be taken from old shoe box or back of note-pad
also you may need some strings, brass or copper wire, wood (tooth-picks),
some clear plastic foil etc.
All those can be found around the house (and we are talking very, very small quantities of them)
Some of this stuff you don't need to use at all - it depends how detailed model you want
to build.
YOU ARE MODELLER so you know what I'm talking about.
For more experienced modellers - many models have extra parts (extreme detailing) available to buy:
laser cut parts, brass barrels, chains, handrails, crew members etc.
