Okkkk.. I'm looking for a new modelling kit. I'm pretty much making do with most of the wrong stuff.....

Any advice on the best place to get:
Files
Model knife
Snips
Sculpting tools
Ta!

Heresy Miniatures do a nice range of most of what you need, and you have the satisfaction of supporting a tip-top UK company that makes a number of "not" Doctor Who models.

Try B&Q/Homebase, Screwfix, and Antics Online for a lot of stuff too.

Scoulpting tools:

Check Hardware shops for various picks and such.

Also, get some Color shapers from Dick Blick. The soft tips allow you to smooth putty quite well. I use them a lot on my projects.

You did not mention it, but get a Jewelry saw. It is a must have. Any hobby place should have one.
