I find .02� to be useful for 1/700 structures. Easy to score and snap and gives precise edges. Sometimes I�ll reinforce the corners with square styrene stock (.06� x .06� maybe) if needed.
A small T-square is perfect for scoring straight right angles with a knife blade. The small bar clamps and machinist�s squares are useful to keep things true while gluing.
