Hobby Tools for Miniatures, Models and Tabletop Projects

Good tools make miniature building much easier, cleaner and more enjoyable. In this category you will find hobby tools for assembling, preparing, converting and finishing miniatures, models, terrain and diorama projects.

Tools are useful at almost every stage of the hobby: cutting parts from sprues, cleaning mold lines, sanding rough surfaces, drilling, sculpting, working with putty, placing small details, preparing bases and making conversions. They are especially important when working with plastic miniatures, resin kits, metal models, scale models and tabletop terrain.

Whether you are building a Warhammer army, preparing Dungeons & Dragons miniatures, working on a display model or creating terrain for your table, the right tool can save time and help you get a cleaner result. Clippers, hobby knives, files, sanding tools, sculpting tools and precision accessories are all small upgrades that make a big difference on the hobby desk.

At Geek Shelter, we stock hobby tools for beginners and experienced model makers alike. You can order online or visit our stores in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa to choose the right tools for building, painting and improving your miniatures.

Glue

Glue is one of the basic materials every hobbyist needs for assembling miniatures, models, terrain, bases, and diorama projects. The right glue makes assembly cleaner, stronger, and much more comfortable, especially when working with small parts and detailed kits.

Different hobby projects may require different types of glue. Plastic cement is commonly used for plastic miniatures and model kits, while super glue is useful for resin, metal, magnets, basing materials, and mixed-material projects. Some hobby glues are also useful for terrain building, scenery, sand, cork, tufts, and other basing details.

Glue is especially important for Warhammer miniatures, Dungeons & Dragons figures, scale models, historical wargames, board game miniatures, and tabletop terrain. A clean assembly stage makes the painting process easier and helps the finished model look better on the table.

At Geek Shelter, we keep hobby glues for players, painters, model makers, and terrain builders who want reliable materials for building and repairing their models. Whether you are assembling a full army, fixing a broken part, adding magnets, or building a scenic base, good glue is one of the most useful items on the hobby desk.

Magnets

Magnets are a very useful hobby material for miniatures, models, vehicles, bases, and terrain projects. They are especially popular for magnetising weapon options, interchangeable parts, transport solutions, and modular models.

For tabletop players, magnets can make a big difference. Instead of permanently gluing every weapon, arm, turret, or upgrade option, you can keep parts removable and switch them depending on the game, army list, or display setup. This is especially useful for Warhammer miniatures, vehicles, monsters, walkers, and larger model kits with multiple build options.

Magnets are also helpful for basing, storage, and transport. They can be used under bases to keep miniatures stable in magnetic cases or trays, making it easier to move armies safely without foam or loose boxes.

At Geek Shelter, we keep hobby magnets for players and model makers who want more flexibility from their miniatures. Whether you are magnetising weapons, building modular terrain, preparing models for transport, or planning a larger conversion project, magnets are one of those small hobby supplies that can solve many practical problems.
