    Hi bro! Awesome video! I'd still consider myself a beginner Gundam model builder (last model I've built was a High Grade kit, 15 years ago, without knowing these building tools). Now that I'm able to buy a Master grade (my dream Heavy Arms model) for my own, I'm afraid to even touch it haha. Anyway, more power to you and your channel. (P.S. Would like to know the name of the green grid mat though an where to buy it.) (PPS: Great video, but with some blurring issues, especially when we need to focus on the item, Samsung phone cam issue maybe?) Thank you

    Please guys, always cut away from yourself, not towards.

      @saifaldin_ 8 месяцев назад +1

      And as somebody who had lost blood a few times to gunpla; I’d also like to add: be careful where you put your fingers, especially the ones not holding the knife.
      And don’t force yourself to do gunpla when you’re sleepy or too tired. That’s when accidents tend to happen. Get some rest and continue later.

    • @aMillaGunpla
      @aMillaGunpla  3 года назад +1

      The chisel is #18, and the smaller blade is another brand, but you should be able to use the X-Acto #16 🙂

      Sorry to hear that! You could always make your own sanding sticks using sandpaper and popsicle sticks like I did in this vid. Sometimes it even ends up cheaper and better than pre-made sanding sticks!
