Just a question of pure curiosity. .. Which tools have you brought with you to the Alps ? In other words, what is included in your travel-pack?

My travel-pack often contains the following:
- exacto knive
- tweezers
- side cutter
- some high grit sandpaper
- putty
- 00, 1 and flat 4 brush
- red, blue, yellow, black, white and grey paint (you can basically mix any colour with those)
- a few spray cans (depending on the scheme)

Stuff like thinner, alcohol etc. I buy locally.

So it all a bit basic but enough for a simple build.

For some projects/trip combinations I toke along other stuff. When travelling by car you can take a lot with you. But by plane it is very difficult. During a trip to curaçao I only had my exacto, some rat files, bass wood and scale drawings. That was the maximum that was possible and I made some wooden masters for gun pods during that vacation.

Borg, that is an awesome job on that bare metal finish. The wash surely did the trick. Nice listing of your travel pack too. I have a traveling toolbox that I take to Hobby Days and game conventions; it is quite sizable, as I like to have extra tools to loan out to others who may have forgotten something.

I agree, this one is going quite fast for you. You still haven't lost any of the quality though!
