Hello, First off.
Merry Christmas everyone .

So, I'm thinking about coming back to Gunpla building for some period of time.
but this time i will paint the missing paint color draw panal line and definately no more stickers. No plan for air brush.
just the basics, just HGs, nothing big mod.
i have watch some youtube tutorial videos, but there still some question.

i hope i can get some advise from the veteren.
can i use ordinary nipper from the hardware store, instead of Hobby Nipper?

Can i use Hardware store's sandpaper? is there any different from using wood sandpaper and use metal sandpaper?

since i'm just painting the missing color, would gundam marker suitable for me?

can i use those masking tape from the stationary shop?

does spraying matte coating smells? i haven't found a proper area to spray them. i fear i would offend the neighbourhood.
or maybe i'll leave it no coating.

is there a difference if i order from Gundam.my or Shoppe's Gundam.my? i have very little experience buying things online.

Thank you.
