Hi, good day to all of the members here. What tool is used to cut specific shapes into t/the hard plastic areas? I see some modellers cut square shape holes, star shape holees, and all kinds of shape holes.. how they do that? Thx in advance

after u engraved the line, use pin vise drill to drill holes
the point here is to drill holes within the shape you wanna cut, the after then use model knife, file, sandpaper to slowly remove away excess plastic until achieve the shape u want

not only ur RG, all gundam will break after posing and playing with it too much.
thats why their box have these words "THIS IS NOT A TOY. "
thats why if you try touch other collectors gundam, they will wrestle you to the ground first.

hahaha,
seasoned gunpla collectors will think of posing first then build the gundam. After gundam has been completed, they wont touch it anymore because scare break or scare paint chipped off.

because the materials used in gundam is different from plastic kid toys. Plastic kid toys used more tough plastic.

Welcome to gunpla bro! i broke my gundams too because i pose too much smile.gif
