Polystyrene Foam Cutter

 

A hot wire cutter for polystyrene, with jaws approximately 5.5cm wide.  Designed for use with a battery (we'll try to get hold of a battery holder to go with it, but any hobby electronics shop will sell them !)

 

Perfect for making inexpensive but practical and attractive scenery from the kind of ceiling tiles you can buy in B&Q !   Cut your hills to shape, and then cover them with the scenic flock we sell, or cut castle walls and coat them with Vallejo Stone Textures.  We also sell UHU Por, an adhesive designed to stick polystyrene without melting great holes in it.  Although holes made with plastic cement make great craters in 1/300 scale.....

Pin Vice A - 0 to 1.0mm

 

Ideal for manual drilling and grinding - insert the bit you want into it, then drill by twisting it between your fingers.  Hollow-bodied so that it can hold long drill bits, and with a knurled body for grip.

Laser Scissors

 

Okay, we're not sure if these are a brilliant idea or a crazy one !  The idea is that you press a button and it sends a laser light along the line you want to cut on.  Make a mark at the far end, line the laser up with it, and just follow it as you cut.  Voila !  One straight cut, with no need to draw lines on the material being cut.
