Don't always go for e-bay Hil, there are cheaper places out there, eg
I needed a razor saw for Victory, there was a Draper set incuding blades mitre block and sanding block on e-bay for £29-£30. Amazon had the same set for £14.99, and quite a few others on Amazon for around £20/£22.

BTW Tomick mentioned a Stanley screwdriver, as he's the expert I would go with his recommendation.

If you have a hobby craft near you try them. I bought a set of draper screwdrivers which have about 10 drivers in it and some tweezers, it was about £6, bargain. And they work a treat.

Hi guys remember Mr T said buy the best screw driver you can afford.

We are going to spend nearly £700 on a fantastic model, I think we need to spend a little extra to get the best screw drivers to do the job, remember its the only tool we need, I spent £22 and they will not let me down, more to the point the McLaren will benefit big styleLOL

Hi Scotty,

I did not use the sandpaper, I use ladies manicure files they are not expensive ( 35p for 6 )Side1 is med side 2 is fine you can cut it and glue small pieces on to bits of planking hope that helps.LOL

Screw heads 2/3
