RE: tools
there is ONE indispensabe item everyone has neglected to add "THE KITCHEN SINK", which you will need to store all of the fancy, unnecessary tools that they have recommended for you as a beginner. Start with the basics and then add a few at a time. its hard to store and have available the hardware store. the most important is a building board, straight pins, CA thin and thick, razor knife with various blades. sandpaper, time and temper. go to the flying field and ask the guys for help... old time sctratch builder. dick
