In this year’s tool and material feature, Hobby Japan will introduce select items among the numerous number that were released in the past year that we’d like to recommend, how to use these tools, and techniques you should know.
Furthermore, we’re also including a maker that makes these modeling tools. What kind of people and with what thoughts are the tools that we normally use made by? Definitely please enjoy this quality story!
