Dowels are obvious material for building model columns, but they have other uses too.

Shedding a Little Light on the Dark Side of Theater.
Site News
Saturday, 30 December 2006

Welcome to Theater Helper.  This site is dedicated to providing advice and instruction in some of the areas of tech theater in which I feel more advice and instruction are needed.  It was born when I was building a model one day and thinking back to the early days when the same tasks took me much longer to perform.  So many times I have done something only to realize later that there was a faster and easier way to do the same thing.  I am hoping the knowledge I share on this site will save others from some of my more frustrating experiences.

Model pieces are tiny, but sometimes to make them look perfect you just want to smooth out a corner, round over and edge or get rid of a rough spot.

Tacky Glue

Tacky glue comes in a few different brands, but is essentially Elmer’s school glue that hasn’t been watered down as much.  If you have school glue, you can also leave it out in a puddle for a little while and it will get close to working as tacky glue does.

Straight Pins
Materials and Tools Useful in Building Models
Saturday, 30 December 2006
Some people use them for sewing, but I use them for models.  I use both the kind with the balls on the ends and the kind with just the little silver nub.  Sometimes I use pins when I’m making stair railings. Sometimes I use them to hold together scenery temporarily while I think it over.

Matte board is a great model building material.  It is, essentially, an extra thick posterboard that comes in a variety of thicknesses and colors.
