WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION / BASIC PACKAGE for your start

Basic list of Necessary materials and tools for the initial but also necessary organization and equipment of your workshop as a first step always.

In the course and with the development of your constructions, you will certainly create demands from yourself and you will enrich the workshop with more tools and materials. An experienced and long-standing workshop has up to 50 times the volume of tools and materials depending on the scope and quality of the constructions you have set at your personal level and of course depending on your development. You will find in this article a basic package with the necessary materials at a low cost for a good start. You can also get advice and help from specialized modeling stores in your neighborhood. Useful advice from my side is the good quality of the tools you will buy. They should be suitable for modeler use.
