    I've, largely, stopped using the hobby knives for a while now, coming from other model and miniature building, but only starting gunpla recently. I'd found that the smaller bladed utility knives seem to work as well for everything that I've dealt with, while the grip feels more comfortable in my hands while it's easier and cheaper to replace the blades

    Didn’t think of a makeup box as a toolbox. That’s a great idea!

    The best way to do a build kit is simple. A standard grooming kit (two sized clippers, a nail file, some scissors, that kinda thing) and a jewelers kit (a simple nipper, and 4 different pliers of different heads), a bunch of paint brushes (my preference is hand painting as I don’t like airbrush), a standard hobby knife, some sandpaper of various grits, and a nail buffer. I can’t get that glue as I have this problem with VOC and fumes so I use tacky glue or standard superglue but it works really well. Don’t forget tons of acrylic paint as I am not fond of enamel. Don’t forget the respirator and gloves.

    Very helpful video. Do you have any spray booth recommendations? Or do you suggest just making my own?

    • @aMillaGunpla
      @aMillaGunpla  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Making your own will likely be the cheaper way, and you get to choose the features you want. But if you want an easy solution, this is the spraybooth I currently have: amzn.to/3uXuXKz

    i'm new to gunpla and i love your vids! question tho, what's the difference between using the glass file vs. the sanding block? you use them both before applying primer/paints right?

    • @aMillaGunpla
      @aMillaGunpla  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yup, they're typically both used for nub removal to make the surface more uniform. Glass files are more rigid, so aren't as effective on curved surfaces, but they leave an almost glossy finish without having to change grits. Sanding blocks are spongy so they can be used on any shaped surface, but you'll have to step up from low grits to high grits to get a nice finish, if you're not careful you can round over edges, and they don't last as long as glass files.

    • @MandingoV2
      @MandingoV2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@aMillaGunpla wow thanks sensei! will definitely try the glass file and compare (been using regular sandpaper with high grits). thanks for the videos by the way, you're a big help to us beginners. =)

  • @Tommy-rf9sw
    @Tommy-rf9sw 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Is a 400 grit sand/glass file, really enough to make a nub mark smooth? What’s the minimum grit range you would recommend that won’t damage the plastic? Started to build my first kit, not sure what grit size the file was that came with the kit.

    • @Unlucky1776
      @Unlucky1776 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      400 grit is more to remove the nub. And then you move on to higher grits like 650 then 1000 to smooth it out

    What is a good size for the cutting mat?

    • @aMillaGunpla
      @aMillaGunpla  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think my cutting mat I got from Amazon, but you could probably pick one up at a local art/hobby store. It’s primary purpose is to protect your table or desk from the tools you put on it, so I suggest getting one as large as you want your workspace to be!
