good question

IMO, better nipper save more time building
you can cut closer to the part, sometimes if you're lucky, work done right after you cut, no sanding required

matters the most if you're OOB builder

Yes, material used is different. I bought Bandai starter kit set. The cutter is similar to above. The steel is easy to rust, cant fix it back plus the rubber holder rot in few year. That will be last time I use that same design cutter again.

Dont worry about how much it can cut as you still need sanding to clean off nub anyway. But hobby cutter narrow and small tip it can easily reach the small part to cut compared to normal tip cutter.

I see. I sand some nubs but in the end I roughen up the area I bought a set of beginner set that comes with 3 sanding sticks (diff roughness on them) but I tried using all of them with the same rough outcome..

gosh i have so much to learn

What happened to gundamguy blogspot? Seems like it hasn't been updated since early this month and I don't see any announcement on gginfinite site either

the facebook page had its name changed to Gundam Complex as well. So it looks like they are experiencing problems?

Looking forward for this:

What brand of paint that bandai use so i can get the right colour with the guide on back of the assembly manual ?

Hi guys, slightly off topic.

I have the GFF Metal Composite Unicorn Banshee.
But I'm bored of the stand still pose using supplied base-stand already..

Is there any recommended base-stand that I can buy for mid air pose like Metal Build base-stand?

Cn try this.. its plastic though.. dont know whether the pegs or connector will fit GFF

Rework on my delta Plus..

Wanna ask, what is the market like for gunpla commissions and painted kits? I don't mean to earn money from it but I like to assemble and paint, then I don't have enough space to keep all so if can sell it would be nice.

So basic plan is to paint it myself, no real customization work most of the times but masked for color apps and only using stickers for eyes, then sell for original kit price + maybe 20% extra cost.

Most I deal with are HG if that is relevant, but MG from time to time.

not much imo

the joy from Gundam is from building it, so if you already built the kit not much fun there

painting and decal also must be godly + some extra diorama if you wanna sell the kits and profit from them

Very small. If you just want to do simple painting and no customization, any given adult should be able to do so.

I thought maybe some guys wanna collect kits but dislike stickers, and I can mask the parts to paint.

But if the market is not there, only option is to wind down. Hate having a gundam graveyard. Even looking at extra parts pile is sad to me, since I don't have a place to recycle them
