Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[Blusttoy]

Hi. May i know where can i get godhand nipper? Still using the nipper that i bought few years ago and it is not as sharp anymore, thus making sanding too painful. Think it's time to retire it and get a new replacement after using it for 4 MG. For current gunpla, i have used 4x 1500 sandpaper. Still way to go and getting too tired sanding for 3 weeks...

Appreciate if any input provided. Thanks

Wow bro, you might wanna consider getting a 2nd cheaper nipper to cut the parts from the sprues first, before using the god hand to clean the nubs. Replacing it after 4 MGs seems hardcore, but I also noticed you mentioned few years ago.

Eitherway, I got mine from HAG/HAW at either Dhoby Ghaut or Macpherson:

I would suggest u use lower grid stand paper to remove the nub and a higher grid sandpaper to smoothen it. 1500 grid is too fine.

Hi Spelljammer,

I have bought 1000grid, and many 1500grid. Just that PG having too many parts to clean and it makes me getting tired. However, 1000grid sometimes leave some scratches to the surface, therefore i prefer to sand it all the way with 1500.

After this Unicorn, I will be building my next Strike Freedom, so a good nipper would be a better choice.

Meanwhile, I have placed order for DSPIAE ST-A via Ezbuy. Heard this is the China version of the Godhand. Will try it out once it is delivered to me.

usually i use 300 grid to take away the nub and 800 grid to smoothen it. to me anything higher then 800 is a waste of time.
after 4 MG and ur nipper not sharp? which nipper u using? i'm using the tamiya nipper and it has been with me for more then 3yr and still going strong. even the cheapo nipper i bought for my son still sharp after going though their hands of cutting don't know wat. haha

Can only be non-authentic lor - my fren bought 3 of this for $5 each via carousell!

US selling about 40-50 per pc! He passed me a pc to try. Very sharp! His cutter gone blunt after 4-5 MGs.

Cheap cheap $5 worth it. In US, I heard ppl using this plamo for 5-10yrs and can even cut well when rusty...

Hi, any idea if there is a Gunpla Expo coming up? Seems like Singapore hasn't had one this year... I read somewhere that there will be one in October at Compass One, but can't remember where I read that from... Any news? Thanks!

He only bought 1 piece which is fair enough, not hording 4 pieces like a scalper.
