To get started you will need a few simple tools:
1. A cutting mat is strongly recommended.  2. A hobby knife with a new blade.                  Adult supervision is required! 3. A metal straight edge or ruler 4. Foam brush or a small hunk of foam  5. Liquid glue for styrene 6. A small artists paint brush                        Materials:  1. Square or Rectangular styrene tube 2. Sheet material (brick, stone or block) 3. Acrylic paint for mortar lines
In this clinic I use Evergreen 5/16" (.312x.312) styrene tube that comes 14inches long.
