i bought a mg zeta plus a1 the other day, thinking it's about time i should build one myself. after seeing all the pics posted, it kinda puts me off knowing that i don't have all the tools that would make the kit look good. all i have is a borrowed toolkit (cutter, knife, etc), and a used gundam marker. i have a fg gundam which i assembled quite some time ago, it looked pretty awful... that's why i bought the mg, thinking it would look good just like in the pic =.="

now that i know that there are quite a no. of tools involved, can someone actually list out the price (and where to get em) for the things you've used when modelling your kit?

Depends on how much skill you have, and how much effort you want to put it.

For a straight assembly, a decent hobby knife, sandpaper, gundam panel line marker + eraser will suffice. Gundam markers are for touching up the details but you're better off using a thin brush+paint for that purpose.

Read on regarding tools for basic modelling.
Advanced skills can be found in hobby magazines and also places like Zero G forum and our own modelling technique thread that's lying somewhere in the forum

basically i have zero skills in modelling... i think i'll get another fg to test it out first... can i know where you guys get your airbrush, compressor, epoxy putties, coats, etc and how much do they cost?
