Thinking outside the box can be very helpful when building models. Knowing the uses of materials and tools often used in building models is even more helpful. This section is committed to entries about specific materials and tools used in model building. Some materials are traditional, and must be bought. Others are salvaged, free, and non-traditional.

The default ordering of the materials below is by date.  If you choose "ordering" from the Order menu, they will be listed alphabetically.
