unexpected simple hobby tips

[magot]

Sometimes you yourself feel that things you do for your hobby, are the most natural things in the world and that it is nonsense to share this with others.

Still, I think there are many simple things to share on the hobby area where others may have something.

Take this as an example:
save all the trimmings that are released when you're putting together models, doesn´t matter how small.
It takes a while but then suddenly your dish begins to look interesting.
Think of rubble and debris on the battlefield when a building collapses or something.
The irregular pieces of waste makes them perfectly suited for this usage.





I am wondering if others have also simple, but unexpected hobby tips.

The only one I can share is if you cut a length from the sprue melt the middle the pull you can trim it and use it for whips or antennas.

I actually find that if I dampen my fingers green stuff isn't doesn't stick to them as much. Of course if you wet your fingers or tools too much, get too much water on the green stuff it'll mess it up.
