I'm always on the lookout for new modelling tools and during a hospital medical clinic visit I found some surprisingly useful items.
The nurses used fine curved scissors while dressing my wounds and also a nifty curette, like a pen with a small circular cutting shape on the tip. As these were single use items the practice is to throw them in the bin after use but I snaffled them for the hobby bench!
The dermal curette is unusual as it's like a tiny circular blade, ideal for shaving join lines off model parts.
The curved scissors are fine, very sharp and perfect for cutting shapes on decal sheets.
I would imagine these items could also be sourced from medical supply companies or bulk pharmacy outlets.
