How To Remove Nub Marks On Gunpla | Tutorial Tuesday

[@juliuskazunaga8916]

Out of all the tutorials I watched on how to remove numb marks, this is the most straight forward tutorial. Thank you so much Studio G, very cool.

[@StudioGundam]

Julius Kazunaga thank you so much! More to come, just straight on tutorial :)

[@valor3276]

I agree

[@Morgorath30]

And not long as hell either. Swear every tutorial video for gunpla is like 20 minutes.

[@juliuskazunaga8916]

Morgorath30 it's like they're doing it for the money to get monetized.

[@dfsfdsfsdfsdfsadsdfsfdsdsf3587]

This is the only builder I've seen who doesn't cut corners with removal

[@soksocks]

This actually helped me improve my nub removal. I made at least 5 MG kits but I'm always let down to see the nub marks in sight, mostly on darker plastics like the Jesta Cannon. But every kit I had left over before these current times....I made major improvements into polishing up my kits better with no nubs insight

[@crewinXeagles]

thank you thank you. I've built 4 models without knowing any tips on how to handle the plastic or what can be done to make the model look good. mine look horrible, but I have a renewed sense of creativity thanks to you. I can't wait to start my next model!

[@ilovetotones1]

Thank you for that. I was kinda doing this already except different grip sandpaper and I wasn't using the polishing spnge

[@shutter-chan]

When you're gonna do a full paint you really don't need to completely removed the nubs even if there's a stress mark since they'll gonna be covered by paint. As long as you cut them perfectly flat with the surrounding surface you're fine. Also saves you enormous time on completing your kit. But if your just gonna do a straight build/minor color correction then it's highly recommended you completely remove them.

[@felixrcandelaria]

Easy work! Straight forward which is perfect for a noob like me. I built my first kit and left a ton of nub marks. I'll do better with my next kit

[@cybersteampunk]

Quick and straight to the point tutorials that is really helpful and resourceful, especially with the stick and foam tape. This how tutorials should be, not 30 mins long and telling the sane thing lol.

[@StudioGundam]

cybersteampunk hhha! You and I share the same principles short, and straight forward :) 😊😊😊

[@cybersteampunk]

@@StudioGundam as a builder, i want to spend time "building". If i can learn from a video in under 8 minutes, i can try it right after. However, custom builds and painting, I can spend more time with those

[@renakoyo4782]

Makes me want to go back and practice on my older Gundam models from high school, since I was able to get a modek kit tool kit so I can properly make future models look good.

[@juandelapena1266]

Just started building my first model super useful and straight forward video. Thank you!! PS: love the afterwords about creativity and finding your own solutions. Please keep creating content 💪🏻

[@nosleep_1989]

your tutorials are helping me a lot, i have already remove nub mark, applied water decals and panel lined 3 of my old model kits. i want to try do custom paint next with a gundam bael that i have laying around

[@3414mercury]

I like your attitude towards creativity and experimenting! I need to hear it regularly, because I tend to obsess on trying to make my kits just like the box art (although I do paint them). You help me relax and take problems in stride, making them part of the fun of building.

[@flawlessvic]

Right on with the cutting not right against the piece. Really does help with not having stress marks. Nice vid.

[@imaclown12345]

quick tip for all gunpla builders: get your elbow fixed on the table and flick your wrist to sand rather than using the whole arm, it’s much faster, leaves less unwanted scratches and your arm wont be as weary after a long build. Great video, really straightforward, i hope this video existed when i was starting out.

[@jegtano7079]

Usually for me shaving the excess is enough. They’d be barely visible by then. And once I top coat the kit, the nub marks would only be visible if your looking at the very closely.

[@TheRedKingsArt__]

jeg tano what top coats do you use, I recently have got the tamiya weathering kit and have been dry brushing my gunpla before that, any recommendations?

[@jegtano7079]

The RedKing's Art__ 6221 I suggest using matte if your weathering.

[@toychill]

love your advices! luckily to me to know your channel. Thanks for all.

This reply is very late, but thanks! I just got into gundam recently, and did this with my first gundam. It came out really well!

[@johnkylemacrohon3097]

hey! i think you should also do panel lining tutorial using tamiya and using gundam markers and show us the difference of it.

[@619timbercali]

Your statement about creativity is spot on! 👌

[@effendyrianto3045]

As a grown up man and a newbie.. I am very interested in gunpla. I’ll make sure to follow your step

[@ChoptheSuey1]

This was really helpful, in a week I'll be getting a Kotobukiya HMM Command Wolf, and will be doing my own custom paint theme for it, and have had trouble with nub marks in my other models. I was hoping to find a video and this one so far was the most to the point. I'm looking forward to putting these techniques to work!

[@ragingsaviorkami9862]

Damn, I recently got into gunpla building, just got some exacto knives, and it seems my skill of cutting numb marks was better when I used the regular box cutter. It was more smooth and easier to use. With the exacto knives (I have the same shapped blade as the one on your knife), I've managed to hurt myself, accidentally split the v-fin, and remove a huge portion of plastic in one spot, which I barely rectified with some sand paper. Did I mention that I am a leftie lol This requires time, effort, patience and practice.

[@HajimotoSaito]

So Jiatin is your name. Mines Dustin, hahaha, pretty awesome to learn you are named with the one of the most common way I tend to be called. Anyways, back on track. Your way is a little more time consuming but I prefer it a lot more than the method shown by others. It is much more meticulous yet it means less or slightly less steps if done right. It is much viable and a better way to do for beginners and those that cannot access to more extensive yet more expensive ways. Not only that, atleast now doing the other methods now becomes more of an in case I mess up thing to do. Thanks Studio G, this is what I was actually looking for.

[@RReginaPhalange]

Go slow. Slice instead of push the blade.

[@placross]

leave some nub marks and switch to a diamond file or sanding sticks/sponge. If you cut too much use thin cement mixed with the exact gunpla parts to fill the gap/hole. Let it cure for a day then remove it again. Even if you don't paint the kit it won't be visible later once you top coat it

Joel Brighton I'm glad I've helped!

[@angelburgos4409]

What grit do you use for the polishing

[@andrewjohnson5050]

Instead if using all the different sanding sticks and sanding sponges, save yourself some time and money, go to target or wallmart and get the multi surface nail buffer. The ones that are 7 different colors work beautifully, and you'll only need like one or two a build. You will have to be a little more careful but I use them on all my builds and so far so good.

[@antoniosiochijr.2839]

Thank you very much for sharing the tip. Keep it up.

[@bigbodyg35]

If you have a decent nipper you should be able to make precise clean close up cuts I have discovered clean up afterwards if needed.

[@StudioGundam]

Benjamin Freeman yup! Decent nippers will help you to save time but this video is more about showing what if you don't have a decent nipper :) if not there wouldn't be a tutorial anymore 😂😂😂

I just got the gunprimer eraser (built the hg unicorn destroy) most for the clear parts and I have to admit still using the hobby knife and sanding, there’s no other way for a clean kit.

[@najmi.d]

everytime after polish it, the color looks bit faded. seems like every "how to remove nub marks" videos never pointed this out. maybe because they'll paint after it...

[@Firatha]

That will go away with proper sanding and washing/polishing you just need really high grit polishing cloth above 2500 combined with a foam buffing pad if you are not going to paint after and want it to shine again.

[@najmi.d]

SleepyD that’s a really good info. Thank you!

[@timothymcdaniel7372]

I’ve found that using a buffing compound after 3000 grit brings back the shine.....in my case, it’s plain white, no frills, toothpaste. I buff the surface with the paste using a Q-tip in circles then wipe off with a slightly damp microfiber cloth (using circular motion).

[@najmi.d]

@@timothymcdaniel7372 by plain white, did you mean the white parts of gunpla kit? sorry i dont really understand. but i will definitely try the above 2500 grit method.

[@timothymcdaniel7372]

Najmi D. Plain white toothpaste, not plain white parts....generic white toothpaste works well as a buffing and polishing compound

[@AiriSenpai]

after you sand paper it, doesnt it make the color lighter? Does it really matters? or am i missing something?

[@killerpinoy2]

Thanks so much!!! I got into building while being in lockdown so this helps very much! Would you be open to do simple paint styles for beginners after removing nubs?

[@ArionRDAW]

Still looking for some examples to show what would happen if you skip the sanding/polishing part before you paint. I am sure there are many who are tempted with just getting a clean cut (especially if he or she just bought a godhand) and think the sanding/polishing part isn't necessary "because it's going to be covered by paint". Hope you can give comparisons painting "with and without" sanding.

[@StudioGundam]

Arion Wong oh I have left that part for the painting tutorial. Definitely will show example and how to solve them :)

[@ArionRDAW]

@@StudioGundam here are some more questions to make your tutorials more unique. basically from the view of people who don't go "all in" without finding out everything: what paints to buy, price-points, what brushes (handpainting/airbrush), bang for buck or go for quality. do i buy a paint set. or buy selective colors and hope they are enough. how long do paints last. etc etc. basically, think how someone who has modest income would think. i am sure you will get plenty of people looking for such info, because too often the tutorials are like "use this or that" but not "why".

[@bigbodyg35]

Also a sharp exacto knife can shave off excess nubs I use a hobby lobby brand clipper they are good enough for me.

[@StudioGundam]

Benjamin Freeman yup! Tools are just tools :)

I wonder how do you avoid scratching the surface while sanding.

[@bobbys9232]

I find its best to stay away from the super hard ones and use your knife to cut it down and then go straight towards the finer ones and polishing. Everytime I try to do the full spectrum sand I scratch the parts.

[@dtejada1988]

Thanks for the video bro! 😎👍🏼

[@adamkuklis3012]

I'd like to thank you for the tutorial - very straightforward and easy to follow. However, I'd like to mention one thing - the stress marks on certain colors and types of plastic are more visible, for example the Gundam 00 blue plastic really marks easily; the dark blue on Unicorns (not to mention the stupid gold on Phenex; as well as the red feet on many MG kits. I also experienced one thing with the white plastic - a nub in the middle of a semi-sphere (the ankle armor on MG Exia) - and after sanding I could see a darker spot there, but the coloration was inside the plastic itself. So, could you maybe revisit the tutorial one day and try different types and colors of plastic?
