man you've been such a big help for this beginner! chill vibes, no annoying music or over the top editing, just clear, well articulated tips, love your stuff!
Very informative. For new comers, you don't necessarily need the most expensive tools. But if you're certain that you'll be investing in this hobby in the long term, it wouldn't hurt to get GodHand cutters, sanding sponges, etc. The important thing is to take your time and pay attention. This isn't a hobby where you should rush to finish things.
Thanks. I'm glad the point i wanted to make came across. I am hoping to show people by the end of the series that you don't have to know how to scribe or be a master painter to enjoy the hobby and have a good looking kit at the end.
The old toothbrush is also really helpful to clean up your files when you're done sanding. When you sand nubs off, you'll leave fine plastic powder on the files which can make them worse at sanding. It also helps extend the duration of your files, meaning you won't have to buy a replacement as soon.
These are the sanding sticks I use in the video. I love these. www.amazon.com/Micro-Mark-Softback-Polishing-Sticks/dp/B07XQKQMFB/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=infini+sanding+sticks&qid=1628485583&sprefix=infini+&sr=8-3
nice tutorial! question tho, hen using ur raser, does it leave leave a lil bit of darker spots when ur finished sanding it? how do you avoid it? is it realy because sanding too quick?
If you are refering to the plastic being a little darker right where the nub was, there is nothing that you can really do about that. it just happens. I have't noticed any difference no matter how I sand or file it down.
I would try the sand paper and use multiple grits to get a nice finish. It might help. I have never really worried about the little dark spots since I paint. But I hope that helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. You can also hit me up on Twitter.
You just have to take your time and just sand a little take a look then sand some more. Plus try to keep sanding stick as flat and parallel to the part so you don't end up miss shape the part.
Hello, I'm new to gunpla and I've just started watching your videos. I have one issue when sanding out my pieces, it changes the glossyness of the plastic and so I can see the difference between a face that has been sanded out and one that hasn't been, do you have any tips to solve this ? Thanks a lot 😊
i use nail buffer blocks, the cheap ones with multiple sides. they also have a polishing side which you can use to match the sheen of the other faces of the part.
Looks like I found my Gunpla Bob Ross. 😊. Very happy to find your channel. Very helpful video.

Nice tutorial, very useful for beginners. I liked your multiple references to not rush the job.

@xxnike0629xx too bad, this useful info is actually useless to you LUL
@xxnike0629xx because you quit building your kits in mid-2012 ...

Great video thanks!
thank you very much. God bless
Great tips. I've been building for a while now and still found it useful.
thank god for undergates
Still confused how ya'll dont oversand the parts lol especially the round ones.
Excellent video…
Honestly great video, nub marks are my weak point but will definitely try this. Subbed!
I hope it is helpful to you. I know a lot of people hate nub removal but it's kind of one of my favorite parts of a build.

getting bob ross vibes out of this videoo... its great, thanks
Great video. Can't wait to see the next one. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub, and the next one will be up soon. As long as my kids cooperate.
Are going to post a video on how to use the Gunprimer Rasers and balancers ?
I hadn't thought about it but I sure could. I'll have to see about that.
@@whiskeredgundam7765 I ordered the Gunprimer Rasers and balancers this weekend, can’t wait to use them.
Sorry to ask but what is the name of the model/kit? I couldn't find it anywhere in the descriptions
Hg prototype gouf (tactical demonstrator) from the origin line. It's a great kit and I highly recommend it.
Could you leave a link for the sending sponges you use?
These are the sanding sticks I use in the video. I love these.

@@whiskeredgundam7765 yes, that's exactly what i meant. So its better to use normal sand papers instead? Whats ur advice? Thx man

But how do you make sure you don't sand plastic that isn't the nub? I think I damaged my model :(
You just have to take your time and just sand a little take a look then sand some more. Plus try to keep sanding stick as flat and parallel to the part so you don't end up miss shape the part.
@@whiskeredgundam7765 I used the hobby knife to remove the remaining bit of nub but it left a stress mark
Pro tip. If you have a stress mark, you can take your finger nail and pretty much rub it off
What numbers of grit did you use in the video?
I was using infiny sanding sticks 400 to 1000 grit.
You sir have a the most manly Cutting matter there is XD jk jk but great vid for the newbies coming to are hobby.

The more I watch the more I realize how time consuming gunpla is even for a high grade, like just doing 1 step would take 10 minutes
But my opinion may change when I actually do it myself
Z E N :)
Im so bad at this part lol
I'm a little strange seeing as this is the most relaxing part to me. So I always take my time doing it.
@@whiskeredgundam7765 i think that's my problem. I need to slow down on my sanding
How I see it, is you spend good money on your kits. Take your time and enjoy it as long as you can.
@@whiskeredgundam7765 good advice. Thank you
I only have a plamo nipper and its evem mine 🥲 i wish i had the tamiya ones
