Re: Got a favorite tool?

only thing that I always do (besides obvious) is to hand write colour name beside code in my own language (I can't remember all of those codes)

Re: Got a favorite tool?

Back to basics: an x-acto, glue, paint and brushes. Everything else is refinement...

Inner peace being the sine qua non condition!

I don't know about a favorite tool, they all make me crazy from time to time.

The one thing I can't live without though is my visor magnifier. If it wasn't for that I might just as well paint everything one color, cause these eyes aren't what they used to be.
