In this section I have a short list of equipment that help with my projects. They're not necessary by any stretch but I figure someone out there might find the info useful.

Stronger Clippers:

What you see above is your standard set of wire cutters. When it comes to working on Gunpla, I've only used these once or twice. That's when I wanted to cut up runners into different sections for pre-paint. They will make short work of runners without having to worry about messing up your regular pair of clippers.

Large Jars:

I love to make spaghetti so sauce jars are always left over. After a good cleaning they make handy little containers to store parts. Tape & a marker make quick label. Sure there are much better management solutions out there but this is me being cheap.

Larger Paint Jars:

There's another word I'm looking for here, not jars, but it escapes my mind. Regardless, I like larger jars for mixing paint in. Plus large quantities of mixture helps ensure I won't run out.

Milliput:

Milliput is an epoxy putty that comes in several shades. There are two tubes of material that when mixed dry solid as a rock after a day or so. It's great for modifying a kit, such as filling in a gap. After it drys it can be sanded and painted.

Soldering Iron:

Soldering irons are fantastic at melting plastic. As such they can create fantastic looking damage effects. Since a cheap iron can run as low as $10 it's a hard investment to pass up for someone wanting to make a battle damaged guy.

Just be careful when using on. It's really easy to take off too much plastic or burn all the way through a piece. It's best to try it out on some junk pieces first.
