My job, after getting everything to the consultants was to 'clean up' an old model in the office. It's tiny and dusty and basically in no shape to be shown to anyone, certainly not a bunch of disgruntled residents.
Times like this I find myself achingly missing things that I'm used to. Like sharpie markers. But that's not what I was missing now. What I really want is a glue syringe. When you build lots of models, as you do in architecture school, you learn all sorts of tricks for making things, and learn about all sorts of tools. One of the best things I always had was a glue syringe. For spreading the tiniest bead of glue onto the tiniest model parts. Very handy with tweezers and thin 1/64" threads of wood.
For that matter, I miss Elmers glue, too. All we seem to have in the office is glue sticks and epoxy, neither of which is the right sort of glue for repairing a tired little model. What's wrong with British people? Don't they understand modern conveniences? Don't even get me started on the toilets... that'll have to be another post.
