About product

Three Vallejo stainless steel modeling tools

These are tools, not modeling chemicals or a kit: the set contains three stainless steel tools intended for shaping two-part putties and modeling compounds. They are used wherever compound is applied and formed by hand — when filling in missing detail, shaping cloth on figures, creating terrain, gaps and surface textures on a diorama.

Why stainless steel

The material is not a marketing detail here. Stainless steel is smooth and easy to clean, so pliable compound does not cling to it as much — and that is the main thing in modeling. A tool that compound sticks to tears it away instead of smoothing it. So the proven procedure is to keep moistening the working edge with water or wiping it on a piece of cloth soaked in water with a drop of detergent; the compound then slides and the surface stays smooth.

How to work with the tools

  • Work in short strokes and do not press the compound but move it — overpressed compound tears and lifts away from the surface.
  • Have everything you need ready before the compound hardens; two-part putties have a limited working time and it runs out faster than you expect.
  • Do not use the tips and spatulas as a lever; thin profiles bend, and a tip that has once been bent no longer draws a straight line.
  • Clean the tools immediately after work; dried compound is far harder to get out of the grooves than fresh.
  • Store the tools so that the working ends do not touch other tools — a smooth edge is a functional property here.

Who the set is for

For figure modelers who are finishing drapery and details, for diorama builders working with terrain and textures, and for anyone filling in missing parts or repairing gaps with putty. It also serves in ordinary repairs to a model where a small amount of compound has to be spread precisely.

These are tools for adult users, not a toy. The tools have thin working ends; keep them out of the reach of children.

FAQ

For pliable modeling compounds and two-part putties that are shaped while damp. On hard, dried material use a file or a scalpel instead.

Almost always because the tool is dry. Keep moistening the working edge with water or wipe it on cloth soaked in water with a drop of detergent.

An overview of the profiles of the individual tools is given on the packaging of the set.
