What would you say is the best model for ship modelling use?

My brother wants to buy me on for xmas, but needs to know which one. I know the SOTS has one included with the sub, but you don't get it until the 8th delivery and it may not be Dremel quality.

Thanks.

Hi,
I've had my Dremel for years and they are a fantastic tool. Useful for lots of jobs other than modelling. If I was buying a new one now I would go for a Cordless one, I also use it with a Flexi-Drive with most of my modelling work.

Cheers.

Would this be a useful kit for wooden ship building?

Also, what type of tasks do you use your dremel for when modelling?

I use my Dremel for sanding, polishing, grinding, cutting and drilling.
Beware of Dremel Accessory kits as not all accessories fit all Dremels. Also you tend to find that only half the accessories ever get used, it's better to buy the Dremel and then the accessories as you need them, I'm also not that impressed by their Speedclic system. Some accessories are not up to much and whilst they sound good don't really work that well, better to check the accessories out one at a time on Amazon and see what people think. I would recommend a Multi-Chuck though, it means you don't have to use Dremel drills etc.
