Going to share a secret with the hobby knife : rubber thumb. Then cut toward thumb delicately.
Never hurt myself in 15 years. And, if you can, invest in high quality nippers. They make a world of difference.
I actually do the same as you've said except for the rubber thumb! I just make sure the blade I use is sharp so that I don't need to put too much force into carving towards myself, making it less likely that i cut myself.
Haven't cut myself for about 2 years now 😁
Nail buffer as polisher works for me too 😁
REALLY WANTED TO SHOW THAT! I just don't have one at the moment 😭
Using the nail buffer is sooo satisfying. Removing nubs is kinda tedious but yeah. You're gonna get the cleanest builds
Gonna take you a really long time haha

I've been building plastic model kits for over 40 years, yes, I'm ancient 🤣 These Bandai kits are awesome. Just picked up the MG Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 today. I pretty much use all of the techniques you demonstrate. Excellent tips for beginners. I use the small retractable razor knives with the snap off blades because they are easier for me to hold onto. Still, the times when they slip, horrific! 😁Be very careful. For those of you on a budget, you can find a lot of handy items at the dollar/pound shops cheap cheap cheap! Nail buffers, blades, super glue. for those pesky v-fins etc that wont stay put. A plus on the video sir!
I've actually been contemplating getting one of those box cutters you mentioned because the blades are much cheaper to replace! I've also had some accidents with the blade so I made sure to mention in this video to be careful. I agree, there are a lot of tools and materials you could get for cheap.
Glad to see even long time hobbyists approve of the tips in my video. Thanks for passing by! 🙏 Please consider subscribing if you're interested, would appreciate the support 😁
Noob to noob:
My method with the x-acto knife is to cut away using my left hand, even though i am (mostly) right handed. If this feels uncomfortable for you, dont do this, but for me it feels natural. I also wear glasses to protect from flying debris and the knife. Also, make sure to make fine cuts because i messed up and the blade broke and flew into my face. 💀
One heads up is that you *will* cut yourself if you arent careful.
Hope this helps.... ive built 5 kits so far and its been fun learning from experience.
One of my rules in life is to never cut towards myself, whether its opening an envelope or scissors.
I agree, it boils down to how comfortable you are with doing it. I just find cutting towards myself a lot more stable. I've never had to cut with a knife hard enough that my face would be in danger, but thanks for the safety glasses tip 👌 this has been my method for around 20+ Master Grades and High grades haha just really have to be careful.
@@DaJemmen Maybe cut facing yourself, but try to place your finger less exposed? Or face the knive with your nail.
@@Shinjiwwl I don't think i have to, been doing it this way ever since I started and I don't hurt myself 😉
@@DaJemmen right after you say that you get cut the next day. All jokes aside, be safe!
@@foxgamer1737 haha yeah sorry, I just mean after that incident it has never happened again
Thank you very much for this "noob" to noob tutorial! The explanation on grit for sanding and polishing was the most important thing for me to learn. I'm about to build a MG Wing Zero I got for Christmas this year. I had an SD action figure of it as a kid, so I wanted to make sure I build the MG kit the way it needs to be treated. :)
This is a great guide, gonna apply them when I made my first gunpla
Mabuhay!!!! Maraming salamat for the tips!!!
Glad to help!
my wing zero is already shipped, my first gunpla, thanks for these tips, sandpaper na lang kulang ko😁
Good luck!!! 😁
I'm a beginning builder, so thank you for your noob to noob tutorial!
Glad to help!
DaJemmen: So... you like jazz?
Me: *subscribes*
Noice 👌
terrible blade etiquette, don't cut towards yourself and find a firm surface to rest the piece on (like a scrap block of wood or a thick wrist pad) while cutting away instead of holding the piece + blade close to your face or something.
I agree never cut towards yourself. He places his thumb way to close to the blade.
I actually also agree with you guys that's why I didn't push using the blade as smth everybody should do. But I just do it this way because its like peeling potatoes 🤷😁
So you like jazz???
Oh do I EVER!! QUE THAT RECORD!!
Nice video. Recommended for people wanting to start their first GunPla build.
Thanks! I hope this helps a lot of them
I use Nano glass file for removing nubs. It’s super cheap but super effective
I've been hearing a lot about that in the comments 😅 I might try them out soon
For using the blade to cut off nubs I use more of a shaving technique. If you hold the blade at a 45 degree angle to the part then lightly drag across you can remove it bit by bit. This works best if your knife has some weight, you can let the weight of the blade do the work. Most important part to this style DO NOT press down or you will risk digging into the part. Once you have it down you can even take off mould lines. You may still need to sand afterwards though do restore the surface finish.
i definitely felt your frustration with nubs. awesome vid. lovin the diff angles on the vid.
Yeahhhh really wanna redo my first kits because of that
@@DaJemmen too late for me to do that hahhaha
cozz i am really lazy
hahhaha
@@FoxyFatePresents my problem with that is I'll have to spend to re-buy the same kits 😅
This guy knows how to Zaku II! he's my favorite. I have 3 total, and 2 more on order.
ive been building these for years but I always do it the casual way. I get great results with just an exacto knife, although the high grit sandpaper is definitely something I need to incorporate. Being good with a blade just isn't good enough for the master grade sets
If you get a single blade nipper, you don't need to use anything else but the nipper.
nice tutorial sir.. i will try this next time i build my kit.
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I use hobby knife with a light touch of medium and high grit. Always comes out nice. I remember I cut myself a lot with my first ever kit 8 years ago. But after my first kit I haven’t cut myself ever since.
bro when are you gonna come back? missed your videos ur so underrated
Awesome! I'll try this tip with my next kit. :D
Glad to help! 😊
Thank you for sharing. I’m working on my 3rd Gundam (gran daddy Gundam!) and I want to make it look GOOD.
I never arranged my runners alphabetically lol, i haven't thought of it right until now! thanks for this ⚡
Glad to help! Let me know if you have any tips too. Would love to step up my building game haha
I love model building, but I honestly hope that Gunpla will release models where you don’t have to cut them out. There’s enough plastic waste in the world as it is and unfortunately the best method of cutting them out requires cutting off tiny pieces from the model parts and sanding them down, turning plastic into tiny bits.
you explained it so well. ❤️ subscribed!
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment and the subscription 😊
This video was really helpful thanks.
Glad to help!
thx for the tips sir
Waiting for my first 1/144 gunpla, which will arrive tomorrow. Thanks for the tips~ I was planning to nip closely but now I won't 😂 salamat lods
Well done, subscribed
Thanks. Same!
@@DaJemmen wow! Thank you!
Thanks for the tips bro I like it keep it up and ROCK ON!
Lets ROCK!
Nice video thanks for the help
I can't tell how many time I have slice a chunk of my finger with the exacto knife
Thanks for the tip! I need to get some sandpaper. lol
Yup! If you can, I really think you get more bang for your buck if you get the metal files for the shaving step.
mecha gaikotsu of the PH!🇵🇭
I wish! That guy has reallyyy good videos 😆
Thanks for the compliment!
My opinion I barely cut far away from the parts. When I cut the parts directly, I almost never get a accident or a hole in anyway. It’s a bit of exaggeration to say but for me it works out pretty well.
hahaha, si midorya pala yun..
btw, nice nice tutorial. ang ganda and straight forward.
Thanks man! Yeah masmadali matutunan kung straight forward eh haha
thx for the tip,s i can not wait to get my first gunpla and build it
Great video. Sweet music!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😁
Nice tutorial man
Thanks! Appreciate the support 😬
"Let's use the hobby knife! Be sure you're not a kid."
:(
"13 and up"
Oh good I'm in my 20's but still feel like a kid
Nice video, very helpful for us noobs
Another Pinoy Builder. Keep it up!
Thanks! Looking forward to learning more 💪
Yoah fellow pinoy builder hahaha nice content ako gaming and gunpla focus nag sstart plang hehehr first upload about kits will be this coming week hihintay ko nlang order ko 🙂
Nice!!! We actually have an fb group of pinoy gunpla youtubers. We help each other with suggestions and tips. If you'd like, message me on my fb page so I can send you the invite!
@@DaJemmen wow thanks men ☺️
Does national book store sell regular nippers? If not I'm just gonna use house hold nail cutters
Thanks I just get into gunpla
Nice vid ! I'll keep the tips in mind. Will build my sd in a few days and an HG once it arrives. Kuha pa ng ibang gamit for buffing tho haha!
Glad I could help!
Nice tutorial bro! I use the nail polisher too!
I really wish I could've shown that! I don't have one at the moment :(
Your sound effects are way too loud.
Can u use ur hands instead of clippers?
Great video bro! :)
Thanks! Good vids on your channel as well!
Tnx bro love the vid by the way very helpful also national book store actually sells exacto knifes? Did find them by coincidence or you just asked the staff?
I usually just find them. It depends on which branch you go to, but national book store has a great selection of crafting blades available.
Oh tnx bro
Also do i need expensive nippers
@@theguythatonlyknowshowtodr4380 you dont really need expensive nippers. Some people even use nail clippers. It's more of a quality-of-life choice to get expensive nippers.
@@DaJemmen tnx bro
Sup man nice vid keep it up 😀
like it bro.. ng iipon pko ng lakas ng loob pra s tuts haha.. malaki daw mka wh ung gnto e.. 🥰
Thanks man! Tagal ko pinagisipan kung tama lang ba na magpost ng tutorial since di ako pro pero naisip ko baka may matulungan akong ibang newbies din 😊
@@DaJemmen yan ang mindset.. mka tulong... u remind me of somthin.. thank u bro hehehe
@@DeDoGunpla happy to help! Haha
@@DaJemmen sabi ko na this tuts will work tlg.. sheet ggwa nko broooo hahaha
Keep it up kapatid!
Thank you!!!
So that's why i have stress marks on my kits! I've been cutting way to close to the part and i can never seem to get rid of them after that! Thank you!
I should mention that in a lot of places that sell model kits i'v found actual Tool sets that come with some pretty nice Nipper's, Several Files, Knife and my favorite has been one that i got that had 3 different Nail File's with different grits on it, extremely useful and most of the time much cheaper than buying all the tools separately.
happy to help! Yeah I think different places have those complete sets. They're pretty convenient.
Hi there, have a lot of beautiful kits and a few of them done. But I used to work with markers to pannel line, and then I saw everyone turned in favor of the Tamiya Accent color. I have all it's black/grey/brown shades and I really like how it can be subtelty brushed insted of having to literally paint a line. But the other day I found my Dagger-L completely shattered, the visor had cracks, also parts on the arms... And then I remembered people advising to use those on bear plastic to your own risk. Why is that no one ever explains so? I fucked up my entire kit yet I never had to put any coat BEFORE pannel lining in my unpainted kits. People, be careful. A lot of great Gunpla channels never tell you so, is it because they've never had the issue? Is it because they are... branding? Any recommendation is appreciated. ¿Maybe I pour too much? ¿Maybe it is the Dagger-L plastic itself? ¿Is it just a lottery? Thanks mate. I'm also not a pro at all, not a newbie either but... on my way. Like your channel. Cheers from Spain.
Sorry to hear about your Dagger L! Yeah those Tamiya panel liner fluids have a harsh thinner for bare plastic. I think hobbyists just forget to spread the word about that because it's really just commonly used for fully painted builds.
@@DaJemmen Thank you man : )
I think everyone should use chisel tipped razor blades
Oh which one is that exactly? I might have to try that 🤔
Sarap naman mag wip jan xD
Sarap nga sana! Temporary lang setup ko kasi gagamitin na for smth else itong original gunpla kwarto ko huhuhu
@@DaJemmen hala anghirap pa naman ng ganyan
@@TypeFHobby IKR! I crie
I just wanna build some kits but I live in Pakistan so these things is EXPENSIVE!
make more video about model kits
I actually have one other tutorial ruclips.net/video/AaLRKQ-1GO0/видео.html
I hope it helps!
Bro what did u call to the plastic cylinder use to cover joints in arms and feet. Pls help me.
Im not sure what you mean 🤔 if you could send me a screenshot of what you're talking about, I'd be glad to help you out. Just message me on Facebook or Instagram 👍 or u could just comment the timestamp here
Para siyang plastic tube na nululukot tapos pinapasok sa arms or legs. Pag binend mo ung arms ung ung nakikita bro
@@setokaiba3784 sorry bro, I really don't know what you're talking about 😅
Why cant i use the knife thing only three years though
bossingg! beginner builder ako. What nippers do you recommend na budget friendly pero solid
Maybe try Bandai nippers. Wag mo sagarin sa part pag mag-cut para di masira yung parts mo
Yes i do like jazz. Im such a noob, all of my gundams are broken :[ but i have 2 wich im displaying right now. I have barbatos lupus rex and vidar (vidar's armour broke so its just its skeleton right now lang) btw im getting Red Frame Kai tomorrow or smth because i bought it from lazada and im pretty hyped for the gundam
Are you getting the master grade? 😮
DaJemmen yes. I wanted the hi-resulation at forst but people say the MG version was also really good so i just got the MG version because i couldn't find any of it in any online shop
@@spisee5445 well I hope you have as much fun as I do posing the kit 🙂
DaJemmen i just saw this now so sorry for this late comment but im haging SO MUCH fun with this guy as you can tell because i literally made a stop motion. I think i might get the MG Zaku but i want to get the MG Sniper II war in a pocket (i think thats what its called) it will look great for my "story line" for the next Steel Samurai. Pls give me sudgestions of MG Grunt suits of you can
@@spisee5445 the GM sniper 2 is definitely a solid kit! There are actually a lot of variations of that kit. If you want something more basic looking, you can try the GM Command Colony type. Its like a brown/sand version of the sniper 😉
has anyone tested if putting gunpla in a freezer or lowering its temperature somehow prevents nub or stress marks?
I already do what the thing can't do....
I use scissor instead nipper cus i too broke to buy nipper
a nail clipper might be better for you
What to do if you gouge the plastic :(
If you're willing to spend a bit more cash, you can try using putty to fill in the gouged area and maybe cover with some matching model kit paint
Why is your tools expensive there's a inexpensive nipper like 300 pesos or i think you can use a wire nipper
Ok lang po gumamit ng sanding stick
This is unrelated but can you review the master grade zaku 2 F2
Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately I don't have any MasterGrade Zaku 1.0s with me 😞
DaJemmen no worries but the Zaku 2 F2 isn’t a 1.0
@@kaiservonblitzkrieg5283 this is the list of standard released Zaku II 2.0s man :)
MG MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type Char Aznable Custom (Ver. 2.0)
MG MS-06R-1A Zaku II High Mobility Type (Ver. 2.0) (Black Tri-Stars Ver.)
MG MS-06F Zaku Minelayer
MG MS-06F Zaku II (Ver. 2.0)

MG MS-06R-1A Zaku II High Mobility Type (MG Ver. 2.0) (Shin Matsunaga Custom)
MG MS-06J Zaku II (Ver. 2.0) ("White Ogre")
DaJemmen oh there was a another zaku kit the F2 was based on the 0083 design the master grade it wasn’t a 1.0 or a 2.0 I’m very sorry for the confusion
@@kaiservonblitzkrieg5283 no worries! I think I know which you're talking about now!
can 12.6 use hobby knofe :troll:
Hi lodi i just wanna ask if i used my lowest grit sandpaper and go to the next higher grit to remove the nub do i need to use the polishing method from 1000 and higher and higher or i could just jump to the highest one?
Better to go higher and higher instead of going straight to highest because the surface wont even out if you just jump to the highest.

Why is the thumbnail so contradictory to the title and content of the video?
Nice salamat
Where did you get those set of files? I think I really need them since I'm pretty bad at the knife method. Thanks!
Found them in Toy's R Us at the Gunpla section. Altho I wouldn't recommend them for having a smooth surface because these metal files have really low grit made for grinding, not smoothening.
@@DaJemmen oh thanks! I really appreciate it!
i use teeth as sand paper
👍
May commission for snap build only?
Hello! For commissions, please send a message to my facebook page 😀
New subscriber here 🔥
Sir ask ko lang po. 400 and 1500 sand paper goods napoba pang clear ng nub marks? Baguhan palang po kasi ako. Salamat po sa answer
Better kung 400-800-1500
By the way, thanks for subscribing! I hope the videos help!
Goods napo for clear nub marks?
if di ka satisfied sa finish ng 1500 pwede mo din sunuran ng 2000+ sandpapers para sa finish na gusto mo or gamit ka ng nail polishing blocks 👍
Salamat po sir
recommend ko use ustar 😊
Thanks! I've actually been seeing that around lately 🙂
tska yung nano glass file sir. 35pesos lang sa hobby alley. proven and tested ko na din po
@@siegecastro4441 nice! Will try eventually!

Heypick
"I'm not a pro" -> "this kit is commissioned"
dude, getting paid to make gunpla literally means that you are a professional 🤣
I don't think I can claim to be a pro since I don't have commissions consistently 😂
Cutting towards yourself is the worst advice ever
Bro just pop the fucking piece out 🙄 been building since I was 10... just pop it out
