I was asked about my travel boxes of scratchbuilding tools !!!!!!! Here is mine !!! What do you take ?????

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.
