Default Kit building essentials



Ok I have deseeded on a SIG Kadet Sr. as a first kit. What will I have to have to start the project?

I already know the top three
· Money
· Time
· Space

I have been in the hobby for a little over a year. So all three of the above are starting to get stretched to the limit with projects, repairs and completed ARF’s.

I keep reading about build boards. I assume this a board that I lay the plans on and pin and glue the kit together over.

I am also assuming that a sheet of ½ OSB just wont cut it, but is the Magic Magnet building board system necessary as this may be my only build?

Has any one made their own simple build board? I have read posts about glass and steel boards as well. Do I need something like this?

I have CA, epoxy, finishing rosin, balsa putty, exacto knifes, CA applicators, covering iron, and T pins.

What more should I have to make this a pleasant and rewording experience.
