What is that rack you are using for a runner organizer? I love the simplicity of it but it also looks very sturdy being fairly chunky metal.

I'm super new to the hobby so sorry for the dumb question, but why not just cut with the single-bladed nipper initially?
@TraceurPhilippines 9 сағат бұрын
If you do it while the parts is still connected in the runner, you will notice that the runner scratches your nipper. It gives a cringe feeling and it might damage the nipper. So remove the parts from the runner using standard nipper, then cut it with single blade.

I've been building for 5+ years, here's my tool recommendations. 1st kit (aka trial run) use flat nail clippers. Enjoyed it? Want to get into the hobby now? Single edge nippers, they are more expensive than standard nippers, but are infinitely better. With these you can cut right up against the part without clean up 99% of the time. Advanced tools, take your new hobby to the next level. Pannell liners, pour type, or fine tip. Fine tip offers more versatility. Use Gray on white plastic, black doesn't look overly good imo. I also recommend Gundam markers, or paint pens, this is a great step to cut out stickers, and do some customisation. With this step I recommend you use a clear coat, matte and gloss are available, use what you prefer the look of. After that the sky's the limit, air brush, kit bashing, whatever you like, you'll be a pro.

@@calebharch7229 Yeah. I really like this approach. Trying the hobby in different tiers is the way to go as its easy to feel overwhelmed in the beginning. Ive been building since the mid 90s and there was no tutorials on any of this stuff unless you bought magazines or went to events. Gundam markers and spray can topcoats is how I started my foray into painting too! One thing Id also like to add to that recommendation for panel lining, is archival ink pens. I really like Micron pens from pigma for panel lining as well. They are forgiving and easy to clean up. Great advice and tips! Love to see it.

Depends. The small and medium nubs I cut flat with a knife, and the large ones I cut close and file. If it's blue plastic which shows stress marks the easiest, I almost always file then rub it with a fingernail or with a plastic parts separator to blend the plastic back into color.

Alternatively, you can also get rid of marbling by using a matt top coat. It's obviously still there, but the masking way from how light works due to matting causes the parts to look more uniform. Plus, if you want a softer look to a gunpla, like making it look like the armor is fighting off the colds of space, then this is the way to go.

What is a wash??
@plamomancer Ай бұрын
@@Ball-destroyers a wash is a thin and transparent layer of paint you can paint over a piece to add a filter effect, or shading to recessed areas. They can be water and oil based and a variety of colors. When applied to panel lines or recessed areas precisely, you'll sometimes hear it called a "pin wash", "panel line wash", "recess shading", or "panel line accent". A lot of companies make them, and you can also make your own.

Hello, I recently got the kit and want to follow along the video to achieve a similar result. Just one question, how do you attach the canoopy in place while painting the main body? I see you remove it afterwards, so is it blue-tac?
@plamomancer 3 ай бұрын
I used poster tac to fix the canopy in place and protect the cockpit before paint. After I was done painting the outside, I ended touching it up by hand. In retrospect, I would have used masking tape or masking fluid, and would have left the canopy on the side. However, if you're talking about installing the canopy in the end, I used Micro Kristal Klear. Happy Building!

You could just cut flush and then sand. i call it the "cut and sand method" that saves the pointless step of cutting the wide part for no reason at all. It's also good for nips.
@plamomancer 4 ай бұрын
For someone who is painting that would be the way to go, however, not everyone fully paints their kits and more often than not, like to use the bare plastic. Therefore its technically not pointless as taking that extra step helps reduce stress marks from my experience. It also doesnt take that much time to do. But to each their own. If that works for you, keep at it.
