Hey all, first time posting in this tread and I would like to get you guys' opinions on something. I got into gunpla building late 2019. At the moment I've only got half a dozen models built, mostly from the Digimon Amplified series. While they are fun to build, I decided that if I was going to continue the hobby I needed to get my own set of tools. Just yesterday, I picked up a set of Klein Tool flush cutters and a hobby knife from a hardware store. Before that, I'd just been using what other people in my house had on hand so I can't tell you what brand they were. Before buying the hobby knife I tried to sand nubs down but it never really worked out the way I wanted it to. Are the brand of cutters I picked up sufficient or should I have found a set specifically for gunpla? Also, do you guys have any tips for using a hobby knife to get rid of nubs? I don't want to cut myself on my first attempt. I did see a video where someone used a chisel head instead of the standard angled blade. Would that be an okay method. Sorry if this got wordy, I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to make this new hobby something worthwhile.

Do you guys have a preferred brand of sandpaper? I found what looked like good, high grit sandpaper from 3M but I would like y'all's opinion.

Not really a Gunpla per se, but I did get the Gallantmon Amplified kit. Great overall kit, but the cape is VERY finnicky and I just kinda left it after getting it somewhat nice looking.

Probably the only one here that cares about this line but F it, it's going here anyways: https://twitter.com/HobbySite/status/1503218143908401154 Surprisingly, we're getting more models based off of side material. Wonder if it'll include the Ouryuken.

 Finally got around to finishing this kit after leaving it for a few months. Really neat for my first RG. Noticeably more complex than the HGs I have though it didn't seem much more complex than the Digimon kits I usually build. Next step would be to stop being lazy and actually consistently sand away nibs instead of trying to polish scuff marks. I will say though that I could feel my eyeballs inverting while I was placing all the decals.

mllaneza posted:Yeah, that's a thing with RGs. I've got the stickers to do on my RG God Gundam. I think I'm going to pick up another half-finished project and just bask in being finished building the thing. because that's a lot of loving stickers. I put on most of the decals, but the tiny circles or rectangles that are just gonna get lost were too much of a pain and you can't really tell anyway.

  Fun build, glad it came with a base cause the wings don't fold in well.

Can I ask you guys what you do with the boxes your model kits come in? I'm running out of closet space and I might just stick the instructions and spare parts into ziplocks and put those in a case to make room.
