I am not a modeler but have attempted to do some which failed miserably because I didn't know what I was doing at 8 years of age, this put me off modelling until recently because I have seen great models that people have graciously shown here and has give me new inspiration here are some of the fails (hannover) Click image for larger version.

    Default

    Small wire cutters for removing parts from sprues. Sharp craft knife with spare blades, Good pair of tweezers. I also use a pair of forceps which are great for holding things while you work on them, filing for instance. I also have a full set of dentists tools and a couple of sets of needle files all very useful.
    You won't need all this straight away, just the first three (essentials) to get you started.
