Confirm wired, not wireless.
If wireless it will cost a lot more for sure.

I need you guys expertise on the gunpla as I am going to start my gunpla build up after purchase quite a number of gundam from my Japan trip.

I bought these tools from Japan as well. These are based on the guide online via website or youtube.



For compound, I understand that the sequence is based on the smallest number to largest number.

The cutter is for cutting plastic.

The sand paper is to remove the nub significantly in sequence starting from the lowest number to the highest number. But I am not sure whether I got the correct sand paper or not

I will be getting the rest of the tool kit here.

Line Paneling Paint ( Brown, Grey and Black )
Hobby Knife ( Any recommendation? )
Tamiya Thinner ( For excessive line removal, is it necessary? )
Small Cutting Mat
Tamiya Gold Paint ( For strike freedom )

You guys can share the quantity I need to get to build the following number of gundam.

I have 2 PG, 9 MG and 2 RG to build.

My personal preference:

Standard stationery cutter is fine, but use high quality blade, usually made in Japan (e.g. NDT). Can be found at dedicated art or stationeries shops.

You can purchase 99% IPA from Shopee or Lazada, works well as alternative to Tamiya own thinner, but not quite with Mr. Color paints.

interested to know what kit u bought

May I know how long do I need to change the blades? The Tamiya Hobby Knife is kinda expensive. ( Around RM40 -RM60 )
Do you have any brand specific made of Japan? There are too many different brand of hobby knife outside. I tried to google NDT but I can't find anything.

What is IPA? What brand did you get for Thinner?

One question, I would like to paint inner frame of strike freedom to gold. Should I just get the spray paint of Tamiya or get the paint and apply it using brush?


Don't hammer me that I bought these normal model instead of mandrake.

PG - Gundam Unicorn, Gundam Unicorn Banshee
MG - Duel, Buster, Aegis, Justice, Unicorn Phenex, Freedom, Infinite Justice, Strike freedom, Providence
RG - Destiny, Unicorn Banshee

FYI. No issue getting through Singapore Custom.

P-Bandai MG Avalanche Dash Exia is limited retail release in Western countries. Full retail release in Asian countries.

Might pick this one.

After reading some topic regarding sanding. It seems like I bought wrong number of sandpaper. Instead of getting 400 and 600, I should get 800 and 2000. Lucky the sand paper is not expensive.

do you guys usually get the sand paper in bar or just one piece and cut it yourself?

An updated GUNPLA 101 to those new to the hobby and also a great refresher to all the new lines from bandai.

you worry so much. most of us dont even sand it... straight build. just trim the part with cutter properly.

400 and 600 hav its uses, in fact i use 600 way more than any other grit but to each their own. U dun jump the grit so high from 800 straight to 2000 (hardly ever need 2000 btw), sanding should b progressive for example 400-600-800-1000-1200-1500 and its not a sequence u must follow to the T, do it however u wan in increasing order. I do it 600-800-1000 and done cuz im flat coating no point going higher. Try and find a sequence u r comfortable with.

If u r just starting out then just experiment with it, nobody does a perfect job on their 1st try. Every1 of us our 1st model often ended up as a test mule in some way shape or form. Dun fret about it.

Yeah, its impossible to make it really nice though. I remember 10 years ago when I built my 1/100MG, it only took me 3 days to finish built my 1/100MG. Now I just started the RG unicorn banshee, already 2 days and I am stll in legging portion.

Actually I have done it before but it was 10 years ago. So skill is a bit rusty. For sanding part, I'm getting use by using 800, 1000 and 2000 ( for glossy look ).
Just one question, I have the compound like I shown in the picture in previous post, should I apply the compound first then only start with water decals and line paneling? or vise versa?

compound 1st then only decals n lining.

Leo is cheap but still yet to arrive in kl

The moment people expect Jagd Doga is MG.
Why bother waste time with RE100 when you can save time and money recycle MG Geara Doga frame?

If im not mistaken, Bandai released more P-Bandai MG than regular version this year.

Recent work

Nice color. Rounded or curved kits should always go with metallic

If I were you, I would have added some chrome, but that's just my preference.
