"The Chopper"
One of the most useful tools ever, for model building, working in wood, or styrene strip materials. Provides clean, neat, feather-free and accurate cuts. Easily and inexpensively, using easily obtainable single edge razor blades. Great for balsa, car decking, ties, trestle building, miniature picture frames, doll house trim, and industrial cutoff uses.
Comes completely assembled and ready to use, including 3 extra blades.
Base is 7-1/4" x 7-1/4".
AW Says: This is an excellent tool for anybody who needs to cut repetitive lengths of wood or styrene for scratch-building or master making. The amount of time it can save you on such tasks makes it fantastic value for money and it is one of those tools that you probably didn't know you needed but would never do without once you have it.
The Chopper II
Precision cutting tool includes replaceable cutting mat for continuing clean cuts. The mat is manufactured to be repositioned as it wears and can be easily replaced as needed. It also features a rigid aluminum handle and base, miter guides for 30, 45, 60 and 90 angles and a safety stop. With its compact 7 x 7" size, the Chopper II can cut wood and styrene strip material up to 1/8"
AW Says: The Chopper II is the next stage up from The Chopper and is a true scratch builders workhorse - die-cast metal means that it has longer life and firmer precision cutting than the original Chopper and the replaceable square of cutting mat in the centre allows you replace worn out cutting areas. The Chopper II is the logical step up from The Chopper for those who will be doing everyday work and need even more accurate strip cutting.
Replacement Blades for the Chpper I & II
NWSL True Sander
True-up cutoff ends to perfect fit—A tool in the tradition of THE CHOPPER that provides accurate,
quick finish sanding of end cuts on
wood or plastic parts for fine fit. The adjustable
angle guide allows you to accurately repeat any
angle for proper fit on mitred corners as well as square cuts. Also included are pre-set 30, 45, and 60 degree mitre guides. Unlike some motor driven
sanding tools The True Sander gives you that delicate touch needed for working with small parts.
Colour Shapers / Clay Shapers
Excellent tool for shifting putty around Clay Shapers (Or colour shapers as they are also known) have a paint brush handle tipped with a firm rubber/silicone end. The Flat chisel type is superb for smoothing areas of putty and the tapered point for detailing holes an indenting putty.
All of our Shapers are Grey, Firm.
Rapid Glue Gun 25W
the eg106 is rated at 25watt and is trigger activated delivering a glue output of 120g/hour. Comes with mains power transformer.

Olfa Knives & Blades
Olfa produced the first "snap-off" blade knife and continue to produce amongst the best if not the best knives.
Their advantage is rigid reliability, strength and sharp blades. It is often false economy to buy a pack of half a dozen cheap snap-off blade knives when the cheap plastic splits, the blades go blunt too quickly and the poor manufacturing means the blade slips all over the place.
I've been using OLFA knives myself for four years now and they are the only reliable knives that i've found in that time - i'm still on my original two knives and it's really nice to be able to finally stock them on this site.
The 180 black is a metal-cast sheath which holds a slim-line snap-off blade suitable for most hobby tasks.
Meanwhile the L-1 is a plastic and metal knife with a heavy-duty blade and locking mechanism for those tougher jobs.
Spare blades for the 180
Pack of 10 replacement blades in their own "sharps" box for safe snapping off of blade sections and storage of snapped-off sections.
Spare blades for the L-!
pack of 10 spare blades for the LOFA L-1
X-Acto Board Cutter
Ideal for clean 45 degree and 90 degree cuts on foam and mat boards. The blade depth is adjustable to 9/16”. Comes with one No.8R blade.
(Only X-Acto No.8R Light-weight Retractable Utility Blade will fit this cutter.)
Tamiya Plastic Scriber
High quality and durable metal scriber for cutting plastics.
AW Says - A "scriber" is much better for cutting plastic than a knife: a knife leaves a raised edge that needs to be sanded down whereas a Scriber scrapes a furrow in the plastic where it can then be cleanly snapped off - leaving no raised edge. This is a "Must have" tool for those who use plasticard, styrene and other sheet plastics.
