type. You can control placement of the glue using a syringe,
and not smear any glue where you want to stain. I stained
(washed) all my wood parts first, so I didn’t have to worry
about excess glue preventing stain penetration.
Tools used in the assembly of this kit
(not necessary all of them):
A modeler’s knife and spare blades. steel ruler, engineer’s
square, syringe, tweezers, various weights, clamps, pin for nail
holes, sanding block, flush-cutters, paint brushes, double-sided
tape, wood glue, CA (super glue). I prefer acrylic (water-base
paint and thinners. The reason I use acrylic paint is twofold: it
is easy to clean brushes and airbrush using water, and you can
thin them with acrylic thinners to use as washes (stains) with-
out affecting the base paint. I kept a shot glass filled with water
to clean my paint brushes.
3. This is a sample of the tools that I keep handy for a
project like this.
