Instead of buying individual tools and formulating your own Do It Yourself toolkit at home, you might find yourself saving a lot of money by buying a ready to go modeling tool kit readily available at Excel or X-Acto. You can find different tool kits for different kinds of modeling, from basic knife sets to ship modeling and model railroaders' kits. However, neither does this mean that you only have to buy a specific kit for your specific needs: the railroader's kit comes with a few extra accessories that are ideal for a model shipwright. If you search around on the internet, you are sure to find a great deal from hobby supply overstock dealers.

But, if you are going to create your own kit, you will need the following tools:

• Hobby Knife + assortment of blades
• Needle Nose Pliers
• Tweezers
• Saw and Miter
• Wire Cutters
• Small Awl
• Files
• Sandpaper & Sanding Block
• Clamps
• Adhesives (Wood Glue, ACC, epoxy)
• Pin Vise / drill bit holder and various drills
• Nailing Tool and Nails
• Dividers
• Small hobby hammer
• Metal Ruler (measuring both inches and centimeters)
• Plank Bending Tool
• Container to hold planks (for soaking)
• Square
• Cutting Mat
• Vise
• Dividers
• Stains, paints and brushes
