where did you get it from? and how much?

Rm38 and from Station Wenshin.
The nipper design like Godhand. Almost same small tip. So its very easy to cut small part in HG and RG kit.

Thanks nazrul

Hey guys, it's my first attempt at hand painting. I used a cheap marker + lighter fluid as thinning agent and some random make up brush for this. What do you think? Is it too rough?

I would say you did a good job

I see. Thanks. I had some pretty rough time rushing to paint the parts as they dry up pretty fast. And it seems like lighter fluid evaporates fast as well. How do you guys prolong the wetness of the paint? Use thinner x20 instead?

is it compulsory to do panel lining and top coating? just finished my gundam, looks pretty good as it is.

not compulsory since we are building for our own enjoyment (so whatever looks good for us is good enough for us) but it is recommended.

my advise, try panel lining 1st and u will see the different.. only by add panel lining will level up your kit 100%.. by add top coating will add another 100%..

but dont over do the panel lining.. it will make it worst..huhu

My cutter always rust out quickly.
Do you guys have method of taking care of the cutter?

apply oil on from time to time. Any type of oil will do, even cooking oil. I am using the generic oil used to lubricate mechanical things (we use it for electric fan motor) which are available in hardware store.

This is the reason why even the x-acto blades has a residue of oil on it and usually rust up the moment the oil dries up.

The nanya cutter is actually good. I've only been reading good things about it.

How does it feel compared to God Hands? Mine just broke. T_T

My Nanye cutter doesnt rust yet but my Mr Diy cutter rust about a day after use it. I use WD41 on the cutter and the rust goes away.


That is not my pic, I dont own GodHand cutter. Too overpriced. Your cutter is GodHand? I have seen people complained about their Godhand broke tip.

There are proper ways to use it. No matter GodHand or other brand. All will prone to break if you dont use it properly.

yeah.. like to know the performance and quality.. is it sharp and durable enough for dozens of kit cutting..

from what i see Gtemple, mineshima and tamiya seem to be good enough for me so far.. if this is up to par.. means its better in price

how to remove the glossy part of the sticker? is i use mr hobby top coat finish, would it settle the problem?

Yes, its working. Just make sure it is Matte/Flat finish top coat before use.

anyone using pencil to do panel lining?

i tried pen at first, didn't like the result. then used pencil, it provides very subtle finish. really nice to look compared to pen.

I tried it with mechanical pencil, I liked how it's subtle and all but sooner or later I realize how easy it was for them to fade off or fall off......

And if you have very thin panel line, you'll struggle if you don't have 0.25mm tip pencil...

So in the end I did my panel lining with a combination of tamiya accent panel lining + micron pen (Black) + gundam silver panel lining pen...

i got one, not bad for the price

cuts quite clean as seen in the vid below (2nd set nipper, 1st set nipper is the g-temple gt-01)

Is there actually any big difference in which nipper u use?
