Zimmerit tools

Sounds really messy though and even more unforgiving! I have a set of Royal Model Zimmerit rakes and have had no problems at all with them I'v not seen the Tamiya ones but think they should be the same.

As for the medium I use I have to agree with bufflehead that the No Nail's stuff we get over here is brilliant I try to support Ausfwerks as much as possible. Our community is FREE to join. To participate you must either login or register for an account.

I'm thinking of doing my own zim and was wondering if the AFV Club doe or the Tamiya rakes are the better tool to do zim.

I was wondering in particular if anyone has used the AFV one. Seems easy enough and has the correct scale width. Member since June From: Michigan. Posted by ps1scw on Tuesday, June 19, PM.

I've used a few tools- Tamiya makes some PE tools that fit into xacto blade handles. I've also used an xacto blade to scribe away dried squadron white putty. I'm sure you'll get a few more answers- screw drivers and soldering irons are also common tools. What's cool about zimm is it's a very custom added detail.

Adds to the charm. Beware of those who stand aloof And greet each venture with reproof; The world would stop if things were run By men who say, "It can't be done". I've looked at this, too. Here's the link:. THe guy used, IIRC, Tamita putty, but he used all kinds of differnt things, including a gear from a venitian blind, as well as dedicated tools, and he posted what they all looked like. I recently bought a Lion's Roar tool that is a cast handle, with a tapped receptacle for a screw, that holds a series of differentyl sized and patterned rolling geared wheels.

I think the last issue of FSM highlighted a modeler who used a carved piece of sprue to stamp the patterns into some Sculpey clay, which had been flattened against armor panels.

The sprue tool he had used looked to have 3 or 4 "teeth" carved into the end.
