Cheers mate! More tips are on their way and who knows, maybe some tips of which tea will help your concentration!

Thank you so much! I will make a tutorial on pla plating in the future, so stay tuned :)

I have been thinking about getting an airbrush too, but I don’t have space for a decent setup right now… so I’m sticking with hand painting. I started back in 2021, when I was in lockdown.

@@TeaandGunpla I’ve thought about hand painting but trying to do a whole model seems a little daunting so I decided to just go for it and buy an airbrush. I’ve only been doing them for 8 months about and and idk if this sounds weird cause I can’t really all say but you seem pretty experienced for doing it for 3 years. Anyways keep up the good work.

Hand painting take its time but can be really rewarding. I am planning to do a video about it in the future 100%. To be honest I had been into similar hobbies before, like w40k for example, so I didn't start from zero. Also to become experienced you don't need just time but the will to do research and always try to improve yourself. Like getting an airbrush and learn how to use it!

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Gunpla's beauty is also to be inventive and make do with what you have available! Still, I would suggest upgrading to nice precision nippers, you will totally notice the difference :)

The most relaxing combo

Thank you very much for your support! I am planning to do the intermediate tutorials in the upcoming videos. Scribing will be next, followed by hand painting. I will be covering the mirroring so stay tuned! I will probably do some reviews here and there, but at the moments it looks like the tutorials are more requested, let’s see!

@@TeaandGunpla all good I’m excited to see them and it’s ok if you don’t do reviews that often I just liked how you did the last one.

Thank you! Using rods it’s the standard way, but I think sometimes it’s nice to use something more unconventional and I like to recycle too

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

I am absolutely in love with Ray Studio products! They deserve to be known around the world for their quality. It’s the perfect example of tools made by people that love the hobby. I couldn’t get the scriber too, so I decided to go for the Dspiae one, but Ray just released the new model and I’m thinking about giving it a shot.

If I am not painting the kit, yes. I like to take my time and not rush through a kit too fast. But, at the end, Gunpla is freedom. There is no right or wrong, just if you’re happy with your result or not 😊

Which one are you talking about? Apart from the cracking of the Tamiya I never had any issues with the others

You’re not the first one to tell how hard is to find some of this products in the USA… I am actually wondering if it could be a good idea to open an online shop, I have easy access to a lot of really good items. Let’s see, maybe in the future there will be some news! Thanks also for your kind words!

@@TeaandGunpla I would at the very least suggest that, if possible, you do some sort of Amazon linking to the items you recommend. Any sort of partner program sounds like a smart idea. I think that Ray Studio Panel Line Eraser was the only item I couldn't find on Amazon. I found a similar product, but it was made of plastic and I'm going to guess low quality.

Good news my friend! I found on eBay this eraser pen from Dspiae, which is another great brand, that can be shipped from Texas. I hope it can help: www.ebay.com/itm/186064869010?itmmeta=01HZR0JDP95G8PZS6GNBAZCZ7D&hash=item2b52549692:g:0OgAAOSwN85k9oLd&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HvaiZFrMrRbAWRP2j0WvIwRgT2BFPvoXShDmXfJWndKQLxqjShoNZeE76Q2M3Kd4KQvUlj0Wu21DHBBrhnQebktxWB%2FHa9yjjETtwZq76VP1pEpdcsfK5E29oH86gd3Dmqvz7I3O5hS2yWMN2sjdEnQ04OvaWzD7lPwmvwAEg8xsoBN%2Fe6Us3MraqmHB%2B8ANpfsc6Q%2FVvfMwGe%2F%2BEqlNL4Bsoepki5eYig8z9ti3pHRDCuB2btCX8hE4afthLe7zyDptmh61f8OwYLZQOWUPY2plU3MxVpDMdUt6yz9cy8u%7Ctkp%3ABFBMnNvJgP5j @detrickward

You’re welcome! It should make the application much faster. Just remember to dip the brush in the bottle every 5 minutes. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you! It’s one of my favorite!

Thank you so much

Thank you very much! I did not try the Dspiae siren, but I can tell you that it is a great brand. Alternatively I can recommend the Raser Plus combined with the Balancer. I had great results with them. www.gunprimer.com/raser-plus www.gunprimer.com/balancer As nipper cutter any will work to separate the part from the sprue, I use the Godhand Pn-125. Not expensive and it is very good. www.amazon.com/GodHand-Nipper-PN-125-Plastic-Cutting/dp/B07NWBG938/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3B2GIN9GWURWA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bG759yGyEvsboWqreB_1NRRA4bC4OuZ2S1dPLbFwCz6xuMpXshDppmCzlLj6olhCPCvkNeMeDE_IyHIe9BHClvxRbKIi94OqzpfsYhRI8s98PqjccfjNW7aeO390AlgZBOfngzBVcxhO9c1EkOOQ8yq5sAWyrJgjDGVv07pMq7knpEsbyNgjLYPF6QuMu4x0_RITILAsJHz47ipyr9rIXGeZYACPYbRghy5cYg1asL0uyqjtIR93BGOyKqF5KOElyqzalloMX6MryRflq1wZRq-VcXKIPaC3bwcwCst0qEc.6AZX1NYrCxS89f8Mp-hI5aKFFwv4mXnsHki_LPQrdbQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=tamiya+side+cutter&qid=1714611965&sprefix=tamiya+side+cutt%2Caps%2C364&sr=8-10 Let me know if you need any more tips!

@@TeaandGunpla yes i heard that the dspiae siren is the more budget friendly of gun primer raser. I'm now torn between choosing the god hand pn 125 or the hobby mio entry level nipper + Hobby mio hm 105 which when it comes down to it is a bit cheaper than pn 125.

Sorry for the late reply! I had to go abroad for a bit and things got a bit messy! If you are still pondering about your choice, I can tell you that Godhand in general is a great investment. They keep sharp for long time and they will last forever, if you maintain them properly. In case you got the Dspiae Siren, please let me know how is it going. I could get one too for an upcoming review of alternatives. Cheers

@@TeaandGunpla Hey no worries, yea I'm pretty satisfied with the god hand pn125. On the other hand the Siren felt awkward to use imo. its really eating all the plastic especially the edges, and the edges often touch the other plastic part. I think part of it is how I use the siren but, in my case the Siren is do more harm than good in most cases. In the end I'm using sanding sponge for much better result, just like you said the glass file will give you faster result but with much less control and in the Siren case its really awkward to control lol. Anyway happy to see you back, cant wait for your next upload :)

Great choice of nippers! One of the advantages of the Raser Plus are the rounded edges, that solves a bit the issue. Still I really prefer the sanding paper/sponges. Hopefully this week I'll manage to upload the water decals tutorial. Thanks for the support and happy building!

Thank you very much!

I like your tutorial, very clear in explaining the various techniques and giving options. I personally prefer the raser glass file/balancer combination to deal with nub marks. I do have the thin raser file and this gives a lot more control than the wider one you use in your video. I subscribed.

Sorry for the late reply, I had to go abroad and things got a bit messy! Thank you so much for your kind words and the support, it is really rewarding to know that you enjoyed the video. I have the thin one too, it's really great for precision indeed.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Probably the Dspiae panel lining pen. It’s so precise and it reduced the time I need to clean up the models!

I got it in Hong Kong, shipped from China. If you’re in the USA/Europe you can find it on Aliexpress for around $20/25 plus shipping. If you want to take a better look at it I have a full review on my channel. Cheers!

Thank you!
