Default RE: ??? My first build what tools do I need??

I know someone already mentioned clamps, but I happened to think of a specific type that has been very useful. The small size of plastic spring clamps(about 2" total length) found at most big chain home improvement stores. Much better than clothes pins IMO, as they have pivots on the jaws, which also open wider. These can usually be had at reasonable cost for a large quantity(think I was getting them 20 or 24 at a time for around 3.99) and are somewhat less likely to try to become part of your model if you over do the glue. Best thing I've ever found for doing sheeting on LE and TE, not to mention alot of other little things. I must have at least 50 of these.
