<p>I've been stuck in a rut lately, and have been feeling uninspired. I'm frustrated by how sensitive Tsunami decoders are to track pickup fluctuations, and opening up my GP15 to put in a larger StayAlive capacitor is not a very exciting project...so I want to do some more kitbashing and scratchbuilding.</p> <p>I have been really enjoying kitbashing, scratchbuilding, painting, and weathering with the tools I have. However, I don't feel empowered to do much more than minor modifications or fabrication because the only tool I have is a modeling knife (and a rather dull one at that). </p> <p>What are some of the "must-have" tools that I should have? I don't have the budget for a Dremel, but saws, drills, etc., are things I'm missing. What do you use on a regular basis?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
