  • The Army Painter TL5049P Self-Healing Cutting Mat - package front The Army Painter TL5049P red grid side with measurements

    The Army Painter The Army Painter TL5049P | Self-Healing Cutting Mat - 220x300mm Dual-Sided | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    Save the dining table: a 220x300mm (8.7x11.8") self-healing PVC mat that shrugs off hobby knife work, keeps blades sharp longer, and gives you a printed measuring grid right where you cut. Flip it over and the black side is a clean photo backdrop for shots of finished models. The natural base for the Hobby Knife and Plastic Frame Cutter. Features Self-healing surface closes up after blade cuts — no grooves to steer your next cut astray. Red side: measuring grid and markings for squaring parts and repeat cuts. Black side: neutral backdrop for progress photos and listings. 3mm thick, durable PVC; lies flat, stores flat, travels to the club. Protects both the furniture and your blade edges. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5049P Size 220 x 300 mm (8.7" x 11.8"), 3mm thick Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799504905 FAQ How does self-healing work?The PVC is soft enough that shallow blade cuts press closed instead of staying open — the surface stays smooth for years of normal knife work. Will paint or glue ruin it?Dried acrylic peels off; CA glue spots can be shaved flush. Keep solvent cements off it though.

  • The Army Painter TL5042P Drill Bits set of 10 - package front The Army Painter TL5042P drill bit sizes 0.7-3mm detail

    The Army Painter The Army Painter TL5042P | Drill Bits Set - 10 Bits 0.7-3mm for Pin Vise | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    Ten bits that turn a pin vise into a full drilling kit: doubled-up 0.7 and 0.9mm for fine detail work (with a spare when the inevitable happens), then 1.0 through 3.0mm for everything up to rare-earth magnet pockets. Sized for plastic, resin, and metal models. They fit the Miniature & Model Drill, and the 3mm bit is exactly what the Model Magnets want. What's Included Size Qty 0.7 mm 2 0.9 mm 2 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 mm 1 each Features 0.7-0.9mm bits drill wire-size holes for grab irons, handrails, and lift rings. Duplicates of the two finest sizes — the ones that snap — so a break does not stop the session. 3mm bit matches 3mm neodymium magnets for swappable loads and removable parts. Cuts styrene, resin, white metal, and brass in a hand pin vise. Storage case keeps the set organized and findable. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5042P Range 10 bits, 0.7-3.0 mm Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799504202 FAQ Do these fit other pin vises?Yes — any pin vise with a chuck accepting up to 3mm shanks, including most hobby brands. Which size for #78-ish detail holes?0.7mm sits between #70 and #69 — right in the range for common 0.012-0.020 inch detail wire. Can I use them in a rotary tool?Better not at fine sizes — high RPM snaps sub-1mm bits and melts styrene; hand power is the point.

  • The Army Painter TL5039P Plastic Frame Cutter - package front The Army Painter TL5039P thin blade sprue nipper detail

    The Army Painter The Army Painter TL5039P | Plastic Frame Cutter - Precision Sprue Nipper | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    The dedicated sprue tool: ultra-thin, razor-sharp blades slip between part and frame for cuts so clean there's often nothing left to sand. Where a general side cutter squeezes and stresses the plastic, the Frame Cutter shears it — no white stress marks, no gouged parts, less cleanup on every structure kit and detail sprue you build. Team it with the Hobby Knife and Model Files for gate cleanup, or grab the Precision Side Cutter for wire and heavier stock. Features Thin single-bevel blade design shears plastic cleanly instead of crushing it. Flat side faces the part for a flush cut with minimal (often zero) gate residue. No stress-whitening on visible surfaces — critical on clear parts and pre-colored kits. Stainless steel with an ergonomic anti-slip grip for repetitive sprue work. For plastic ONLY — keep wire and metal in the Side Cutter to protect the fine edge. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5039P Material Stainless steel, anti-slip grip Use Plastic sprues/frames only Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799503908 FAQ Frame Cutter vs. Side Cutter — which do I need?Both have jobs: the Frame Cutter is the delicate plastic specialist (cleanest cuts, fragile edge); the Side Cutter is the workhorse for wire, metal, and heavy stubs. Cutting wire with the Frame Cutter will nick the blade. Do I still need to trim the gate?Usually just a light knife pass — cut a hair away from the part, then shave flush. On many kits the cut is clean enough to glue straight away. Will it cut clear window parts safely?Yes — that's exactly where it shines: no stress-whitening on clear styrene if you cut away from the part edge first.

  • The Army Painter TL5035P Tweezers Set - package front The Army Painter TL5035P flat and pointy tip tweezers detail

    The Army Painter The Army Painter TL5035P | Tweezers Set - Flat & Pointy Precision Tips | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    Fingers are terrible at holding 4mm detail parts — tweezers aren't. This set covers both jobs on the bench: a flat-tip pair that grips larger parts firmly for gluing and positioning, and a pointy-tip pair for decal placement, wire grab irons, and details too fine to touch. Ergonomic and precise, they save parts (and sanity) during kit assembly. Round out the assembly kit with the Hobby Knife and Model Files. What's Included Item Qty Flat-tip tweezers (parts holding/positioning) 1 Pointy-tip tweezers (decals/fine details) 1 Features Flat tip holds and positions larger components while glue sets — no fingerprints in the cement. Pointy tip is the decal tool: lift, slide, and settle waterslide decals without tearing. Precise grip for detail parts, figures, signals, and wire work in any scale. Ergonomic, spring-tension design comfortable through long assembly sessions. Equally at home with model railroading, plastic kits, and electronics work. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5035P Set Size 2 tweezers Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799503502 FAQ Which tip for decals?The pointy tip — slide the decal off the backing and nudge it into place without touching the face. Are they anti-magnetic?They're standard stainless — fine for detail parts; if you're placing tiny neodymium magnets, grip them lightly and they behave. Why two shapes?Flat = clamping force spread over a surface (holding while glue cures). Pointy = pinpoint accuracy (placing). You'll reach for both constantly.

  • The Army Painter TL5034P Hobby Knife with spare blades - package front The Army Painter TL5034P hobby knife rubber grip detail

    The Army Painter The Army Painter TL5034P | Hobby Knife w/ 5 Spare #11 Blades | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    The workhorse of every workbench: a #11-blade hobby knife with a rubber-coated grip that doesn't roll off the desk or slip mid-cut. You get five spare blades in a container plus a protective cap — because the real secret to clean cuts is swapping blades early and often. Mold lines, flash, decal edges, sprue-gate shaving, opening boxes you shouldn't: it does it all. Runs as a team with the Precision Side Cutter and Model Files. What's Included Item Qty Hobby knife with rubber-coated handle + safety cap 1 Spare #11 blades in container 5 Features Ultra-sharp #11-style art blade — "a surgical scalpel made for miniatures." Rubber-coated handle: steady grip for controlled, precise cuts; doesn't roll off the bench. Twist-lock collet swaps blades in seconds; 5 spares included. Protective cap for the toolbox or travel kit. Cuts styrene, resin, decal film, and soft metal cleanly in any scale. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5034P Blade Type #11 (5 spares included) Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799503403 FAQ Do standard #11 blades fit?Yes — the twist-lock collet takes common #11-style replacement blades, so refills are easy to find. How often should I change blades?The moment cuts need pressure. A fresh blade shaves styrene; a dull one tears it and slips — most bench injuries come from dull blades. Is it good for decals?Excellent — the fine tip trims carrier film tight to printed edges without lifting the decal.

  • The Army Painter TL5032P Precision Side Cutter - package front The Army Painter TL5032P side cutter flush blade detail

    The Army Painter The Army Painter TL5032P | Precision Side Cutter - Flush Sprue Cutter | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    The right way off the sprue: a flush-cutting side cutter leaves a clean, flat cut face instead of the stress-whitened stub you get from twisting or scissors. Stainless steel with a safety grip, it's built for the small precise cuts kit modeling demands — structure kit parts, detail castings, ladders and railings that snap if you look at them wrong. Finish the job with the Hobby Knife and Model Files for invisible sprue-gate cleanup. Features Flush flat-side blade: face it against the part for a cut that needs almost no cleanup. Stainless steel jaws stay sharp through boxes of building kits. Safety-grip handles give controlled pressure for delicate parts — ladders, grab irons, antennas. Handles styrene sprues, resin pour stubs, and soft metal castings. Spares your hobby knife blades for the finishing passes. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5032P Material Stainless steel, safety grip Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799503205 FAQ How is this different from wire cutters?One side of the blade is dead flat, so the cut face sits flush with the part — general-purpose cutters leave a pinched ridge you then have to sand off. Which side faces the part?The flat side. Cut a hair proud on delicate parts and shave the last bit with a hobby knife. Will it cut metal?Soft metals (white metal castings, thin brass wire) yes; hardened steel like piano wire, no — that ruins the edge.

  • The Army Painter TL5031P Miniature and Model Drill pin vise - package front The Army Painter TL5031P pin vise drill with 3 bits and storage case

    The Army Painter The Army Painter TL5031P | Miniature & Model Drill - Pin Vise w/ 3 Bits | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    A pen-style pin vise is the tool for every hole a powered drill would wreck: grab irons and handrails on locomotives, stanchions, detail parts, and magnet pockets in figures. This one ships with 1.0, 1.4, and 1.8mm bits in a storage case, holds anything up to 3mm, and gives you the fingertip control that keeps fragile plastic and resin from cracking. It pairs naturally with the Hobby Knife and Model Files for a complete detailing kit. What's Included Item Qty Pen-style pin vise hand drill 1 Drill bits (1.0mm, 1.4mm, 1.8mm) with storage case 3 Features Pen-like grip gives precise, low-torque control — no over-drilling fragile castings. Chuck accepts bits up to 3mm; a 10-bit expansion set (0.7-3mm Drill Bits, TL5042) is available. Drills plastic, resin, and metal — kit details, wire grab irons, and rare-earth magnet pockets. Included case keeps the three starter bits from wandering off the bench. Perfect for #80-#60 class detail holes on HO and N locomotives and rolling stock. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5031P Included Bits 1.0 / 1.4 / 1.8 mm (max capacity 3mm) Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799503106 FAQ Will it drill metal locomotive shells?Yes — brass, white metal, and zinc castings drill fine with patience; keep the bit square and let the tool do the work. What size bit for wire grab irons?Most 0.012"-0.015" wire wants a #76-#68 hole — the included 1.0mm bit covers the coarse end; grab the Drill Bits set for finer work. Do I need a powered rotary tool instead?For detail holes, no — a pin vise is safer on styrene and resin, and you feel the breakthrough before it tears out.

    Out of stock

    The refill that keeps your wet palette going: 50 ultra-fine hydro papers and 2 super-absorbent foam sheets, sized for The Army Painter Wet Palette. A paper lasts a session or two, so one Hydro Pack is months of paint-saving, custom-mix-preserving bench time. Designed for the Army Painter Wet Palette — pick one up if you're still painting off dry plastic. What's Included Item Qty Hydro palette papers (ultra-fine) 50 Hydro foams (super absorbent) 2 Features Ultra-fine papers distribute water evenly so paint thins consistently across the palette. Super-absorbent foams hold enough water for long sessions without re-wetting. Swap a worn paper in seconds; replace a stained foam and the palette is like new. Fits The Army Painter Wet Palette (TL5051) exactly — no trimming. Works for any acrylic: Speedpaints, craft paints, and railroad-brand acrylics alike. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5052P Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799505209 FAQ Does this fit my wet palette?It's cut for The Army Painter Wet Palette (TL5051). It also fits the larger Wargamers Edition if you don't mind a little margin, though that palette has its own XL refill. How long does one pack last?A paper typically survives one or two full sessions. Painting a couple evenings a week, 50 papers is roughly 3-6 months. Can I reuse papers?You can let a paper dry and rewet it a few times, but once it wrinkles or sheds fibers, swap it — they're the consumable.

    Out of stock

    Acrylics drying on the palette mid-session is the hobby's oldest annoyance — a wet palette fixes it. The Army Painter Wet Palette keeps paints and custom mixes workable for hours (even overnight with the sealed lid), thins your paint slightly toward that perfect layering consistency, and the inner tray stores up to 10 hobby brushes so the whole kit travels to the club in one piece. It's the natural bench partner for the Speedpaint Starter Set 2.0 — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. What's Included Item Qty Wet palette tray with sealing lid, strap & brush holder 1 Hydro foam sheets 2 Hydro papers 50 Features Keeps acrylics and Speedpaints wet and workable for hours — custom mixes survive the whole session. Sealing lid with strap preserves paints overnight and makes it fully portable. Inner layer stores up to 10 hobby brushes (or 6 larger wargamer brushes) for transport. Paint stays at a slightly thinned, layer-ready consistency straight off the palette. Compact 13.8 x 19.8 cm footprint fits a crowded workbench; 50 hydro papers included to start. Refills available — grab the Hydro Pack when the papers and foams run out. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5051P Palette Size 13.8 x 19.8 cm (5.4" x 7.8") Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799505100 FAQ How does a wet palette work?A water-soaked foam sheet sits under a semi-permeable paper; paint on top stays hydrated from below, so it doesn't skin over or dry out while you work. Does it work with Speedpaints?Yes — Speedpaints and standard acrylics both stay workable far longer on a wet palette than on dry plastic. How long do the supplies last?You get 50 hydro papers and 2 foams — a paper lasts a session or two, so that's months of painting. The Hydro Pack refill restocks both. Can paint really survive overnight?With the lid sealed, most acrylics stay usable to the next day — great for multi-evening projects using custom-mixed colors.

    1 In Stock In Store

    The fix for gummy, separated hobby paint: drop two of these 5.5mm stainless steel agitator balls into any paint bottle and a 30-second shake mixes pigment and medium back into a smooth, ready-to-use consistency. You get 100 balls — enough to upgrade an entire paint collection — and because they're high-grade rustproof stainless steel, they'll never corrode or discolor your paint. Pair them with the Speedpaint Starter Set 2.0 or a set of Paint Mixing Empty Bottles, or browse our Scenery and Figures & Vehicles collections for things to paint. Features 100 stainless steel mixing balls, 5.5 mm diameter — use two per bottle for optimal agitation. High-grade rustproof stainless steel: won't corrode in water-based paints or discolor colors. Fits through the neck of standard dropper bottles (Army Painter, Vallejo, and similar). Revives old, thick, or separated paints — breaks up clumps heavy shaking alone can't. A 30-second shake gives a fully homogenized mix — no more half-strength first brushloads. Works with any brand of acrylic, enamel, or lacquer hobby paint, any scale of modeling. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5041P Quantity 100 balls Diameter 5.5 mm (approx. 0.22") Material Rustproof stainless steel Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799504103 FAQ How many balls should I use per bottle?Two per bottle is the sweet spot — they move randomly against each other when shaken, which mixes better than a single larger ball. Will they rust in water-based paint?No. These are high-grade stainless steel, so they won't rust or tint your paint even after years sitting in the bottle. Do they fit dropper bottles?Yes — at 5.5 mm they drop right through the neck of standard 12–18ml dropper bottles from The Army Painter, Vallejo, AK, and similar. Do Speedpaint 2.0 bottles need them?No — Speedpaint 2.0 bottles come pre-loaded with two mixing balls. This pack is for the rest of your collection: older paints, washes, metallics, and any brand that ships without agitators.
