    Complete Noob List

    #1
    Some people may cheat like me (explain later) or you may want to do everything from scratch. If you do here is complete list of what you will need by name and location. Ebay is a place where you can get ANYTHING. I am sure you can find better prices but this is based on needs and not cost effeciency. There are little odds and ends like tape, scissors, pens and knives that you will need but you may have that around the house already so I did not post items like that. Unless a direct link is given then it I searched for it on Ebay. I am posting the exact titles as they were found. Links are usless because auctions and sales end. Be advised you will need variations of some items such as resin and etc. When you look at the prices also look at the quantity of the item. Some things I went with the better deal, obviously you don't need 2 sets of eyeware and so on. If you need further guidance please veiw the well written tutorials on specific areas. This is propbably the starting point to learn as a noob (which I am). The Official 405th Q & A Team. Download Pepakura, learn it, love it. Then you can download the pdo files and always watch other Members.

      I am deployed which means when I work I work hard but when I don't I have absolutely nothing to do. I love this forum and the creativity. It inspires me.

          Agreed. Stickied.

          Note: Keep in mind. Like Ithica said this is not an absolute list and variations may occur.

          <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%">Ithica, I know you said it already, but it bares repeating as even with both of us stating it people will ask repeatedly where to get the specific items you&#39;ve listed.</span>

                Unless I missed it you should add acetone..

                This is used for thinning the resin and cleaning up brushes and spills...

                Walmart has it for under 10 bucks...

                Also a container of disposible plastic cups to mix the resin and hardner in.

                      Stupid question from me but is your ebay the same as ours? If so minus a few items the rest was found on ebay. If not I&#39;m sorry.

                          Yeah my wife and I were on yahoo and I sent her the link and she said I must be proud of my nerd self...lol. Oh wait I&#39;m giving classes through yahoo and she will be hooked when I get home. I just started researching other topics and what I would need and decided to go a lil further and get a list for the absolute beginner. I would need all these items as well if I didn&#39;t cheat.
