Tools
The tools you will need are:
Color ink jet or color laser printer
Hobby knife with a new blade
Straightedge for cutting
3M mending tape (the type that looks frosted)
Tape measure or ruler
Regular printer paper
White glue or matte medium (either one mixed 50/50 with
wet water)
Lint-free cloth (an old T-shirt)
Airbrush
50/50 mix of Testors Dullcote
Tissue paper, the type used for gift wrap.
Artist tracing paper or architectural tracing paper
