Leakeyvale Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have a professional Makita variable speed hammer drill/screwdriver unit with 3 power packs that Stu bought. I find it very easy to use, lightweight but powerful. By golly the power packs seem to last forever. A builder saw it when he came to do some work for me and was keen to buy it from me - I did not take his offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke (DeWitt) Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Stanley Surform Shaver, a friend recommended it to me a few weeks ago so I bought it and it sure is handy for shaping foam board on my layout. A lot faster than sandpaper. I think I paid around $6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 I take it that this leaves the surfaces roughed up too, Luke? Idea for texture to add scenic scatter to maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke (DeWitt) Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I take it that this leaves the surfaces roughed up too, Luke? Idea for texture to add scenic scatter to maybe? It does leave it rough and I found that my materials did apply easier on the rougher sections vs. the smooth sections. I have been playing with it a bit more and it is great for making ponds and ditches. The worst part is the clean up because the foam shavings seem to stick to everything. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a few years late to the party here, but I've just ordered a simple set of tools on ebay. Didn't cost much but I guess it'll do for experimenting with the plastic and wood materials

Splashed out on an RP Toolz mitre cutter after reading some good reviews on it. Have struggled a bit getting 1394 nose guard done with the angles and size involved, thought this might help future proj
