Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

Wah gg la. I use mcspicy oil, my cutter rust immediately. And i always thought mcdonalds more healthy than kfc.

Apart from this bull****, i usually use a exacto knife to remove the nubs and sometimes i cut really badly. Apart from sanding, is it possible to just cut and trim nicely most of the time using just a cutter?

actually cutter + exacto knife is sufficient:

Nub Removal |

problem is your knife needs to be sharp.. "dip-into-flowing-stream-and-will-cut-any-leaf-floating-pass" kind of sharp.

Just another question related to sanding, do u all sand until the nub mark totally gone? or until it is still visible but when running finger/nail over it feels smooth enough le? cuz im using 800 dry and 1000 wet sand paper and i can never sand until the nub mark is totally gone but it feels smooth.

doesnt matter if you're planning to paint. if you're not guess you can sand until you're happy

I am intending to paint, actually my 1st time doing all these steps. Only used to snap fit with carving knife and trim to my best hahas!!

So as long as the surface is smooth to the touch it is gd to go for priming and etc?

Im using my previous snap fit then disassemble and slowly using it as guinea pig and learning

Oh yeah! Im currently working on wing zero ver ka and i have some parts with green shiny stickers on a blue part. Any way i can paint it transparent green or smth?

yup, tamiya has a clear green paint. there're many ways to get a nice shiny green but simplest is to have a silver undercoat then clear green.

Hey there, I didn't get your reply to my pm, so not too sure if this is on. I have made the order; do let me know if you still want to get the banshee half.

soldering iron need to manually poke out the damage, have more control but not as fast and literally blowing it up....
