Modeling tools for scale building

Modeling tools

Every scale modeler needs reliable modeling tools to achieve clean assembly, sharp detailing and professional finishes. This collection brings together a curated selection of AMMO by Mig accessories designed to support builders at every stage of the workflow. From preparing plastic and resin parts to adding precise texture effects, these tools are built to help modelers work faster, cleaner and with more control over the final result.

AMMO by Mig Jiménez is known for engineering products that make complex tasks feel intuitive. Whether you are scratch-building components, reshaping surfaces, applying Zimmerit textures or prepping a kit for painting, the tools in this collection offer dependable performance and smart design. Each item fills a specific need inside the modeling bench, giving beginners and advanced hobbyists the confidence to take on more ambitious projects.

What’s in this collection

This category features essential tools that simplify everything from part preparation to texturing. Among the most commonly used options you will find:

• Putty Surfacers in Thin, Medium and Thick formulas, perfect for filling panel gaps, smoothing seams and reshaping edges on plastic or resin kits.
• The TITANS Hobby Photoetched Bender, a precision tool for bending small photoetched parts with accuracy and repeatability.
• Hand saws designed for clean cuts on plastic and resin, reducing stress marks and providing more control when removing casting blocks or modifying parts.
• The LOCK ’N LOAD weathering pencil set, a portable kit ideal for shading, chipping, panel lining and quick touch-ups.
• Applicator tools that help spread putty and texturing products evenly without damaging the surface.
• A complete range of PANZER KOTE Zimmerit tools in multiple scales (1/72, 1/48, 1/35), designed to recreate historically accurate Zimmerit patterns on World War II armor models.

Each product is engineered for durability and precision. Modelers appreciate how ergonomic they feel during long sessions, especially when performing tasks that require fine motor control. Since these modeling tools work well with a variety of AMMO paints, putties and texturing compounds, they integrate seamlessly with existing workflows in both historical and fantasy modeling.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Working with high-quality tools can dramatically improve the overall finish of a model. Gap-filling becomes cleaner with the right putty consistency, photoetched parts stay crisp after bending, and Zimmerit textures look more authentic when applied with tools designed for the exact pattern. Using the appropriate tool not only speeds up your process but also reduces mistakes that might be difficult to correct later.

Some practical tips to get the most out of this collection include:

• Choosing Thin Surfacers for hairline gaps, Medium for typical seams and Thick for reshaping or sculpting small areas.
• Bending photoetched parts slowly and evenly to avoid stress fractures, especially on narrow brackets or structural components.
• Using Zimmerit tools with consistent pressure to maintain an even pattern across large tank surfaces.
• Combining weathering pencils with enamel washes to add layered depth during the finishing stages.
• Keeping blades and applicators clean after each session to extend lifespan and maintain accuracy.

Modelers who upgrade to quality modeling tools often notice immediate improvements in precision and workflow efficiency. This collection supports every step of building and detailing, from the earliest preparation stages to the final touches that make a model stand out.
