Thanks for watching!
My wife makes fun of me for saving bread clips! I even have my parents save theirs too so I have a big zip lock bag full of those suckers.
They're extremely useful
Yeh it beats cutting a small portion from a sheet of plaplate haha. Quite handy to have these lil guys around
I use bread clips constantly to add little details or extend some parts.
Turn them around and consider all angles. Every shape and every piece is useful.
Now I am going to look at all models for bread clips.
Bread Clips are basically The best starter Pla-plates
when i joined the miniature hobby a few years ago it opened up this whole new world of custom detail using anything you can imagine. I now translate that gunpla too and honestly it became easier since gunpla are much larger and have more things you can add
This would have been a great set of tips to learn before all my local breads switched to paper card clips.
First thing I thought as well. Good thing they (finally) do though. It doesn't get more single-use plastic than a bread clip. Cool tips nonetheless
i think i was a kid the last time i seen these clips hes using, (im30) every time i get bread it has the twist ties
My best guess is that it’s regional, esp with plastic production regulations being tightened the twist ties and cardboard clips might be less subject to production tax or something like that. I’ve never seen the cardboard ones, I live in the northeast USA, I’ve only seen the plastic clips and the twist ties.
I never would have thought of this.! Thank you for this hack!
Zach I’ve never mentioned it before but a couple years ago you did an episode of plamo no trend(?), with josh, about kenou and it was in the very beginning of my scale model journey. I was so amazed by his work that it literally drew me into the hobby and essentially help shape my “style” of building altogether! Something about the extra armor plates and rivets really spoke to me on some level. So thanks for that dude, seriously. Idk what I’d be doing, I doubt I would of developed such an interest into scale modeling if I hadn’t of learned about Japanese builders and their detail driven designs for gunpla. 🙏
So bread clips are now the best thing for gunpla builders since sliced bread?……I’ll show myself out.
Please position yourself in front of the Hyper Bazooka
😂😂
When I wanted to attach Fake Nu funnels to my EG Nu Gundam, I glued bread clips onto Nu's backpack to widen the peg. Some light sanding, and it was just a matter of test-fitting the funnels onto that area.
If you cut too thick, you can always sand down, but you can’t go the other way. So with those clip pieces you were doing I think you could have an easier time standing down in case you don’t have the point in your area.
This is absolutely fantastic! Can't eat bread, allergic, but not I'm going to buy multiple loaves, throw the bread out and walaa! Instant modification piece!❤😂
give the bread to someone else!!!
Some ppl just dont get the kidding around
yess, those plastic dental pick flossy things can also be useful in some ways I'd say
Man am I glad I have a drawer full of these. I'm putting radiators on everything now
I've been gathering these for a few years but I use them in everything from Gunpla and miniatures to terrain and toy customizing. The material is excellent.
I never even thought of this now I’m gonna save all my bread clips
Love these entry-level customization videos ❤
That MG Amazing Gundam model looks pretty nice. Would need painting, but without it, it even looks solid.
About time I see someone bring up bread clips. Found out early how useful they are.
Yeah it’s certainly not anything new but I felt a lot of people probably didn’t know this trick! Seems that was the case!
Man! Great video! Shows some real creativity and ingenuity. Impeccable camera work as well my dude. Been watching your channel for years and you continue to produce new and interesting styles of videos. Great work . Your appreciated. Question: is Trendy Machinery B.Duck & Spa Duck Model Kit on your radar? The kit looks crazy and fun.
out of the subject but are you planning to review the SOLOMON GP02 or make a video talking about it?
This is a awesome idea for adding details, and having coworkers with kids should allow me to get a bunch of these rather quickly.
Is this a series? It should be, if it's not. Personally, I love finding out new and exciting ways to add little, custom touches using found items around the house. Used to do this type of thing for a bit when I thought I was going to get into 40k to build terrain...then the pandemic hit and no one could do that type of thing for about a year (getting together to game).
These tips are great for making custom bases for Gunpla too.
We need more of These videos with househould- Item Hacks ❤
Thanks for the tips!
No problem!
Zaku please continue the old painting tutorial vids again man I miss working along side you! 🫶🏻😂
Will do!
@@ZakuAurelius haven’t felt the burn I did 2 years ago we need to revitalize the community again!
This is actually a cool idea, never thought of that before. My first thought was to use the sides of the bread clip as a scribing guide, the wavy design on the edge would probably look cool as a scribed panel line, but the other methods are pretty cool too. I’m still struggling with pla plating techniques, my hands aren’t trained to be still enough so I end up cutting unevenly and it doesn’t look good enough. Also I never noticed how cool the MG Red warrior is. Might have to put that kit on my wishlist
Darn, my gardenia plastic bags thrown out along with those clips. 😱
Anyways, that tip is very neat way for it being a pla-plates there. If you want to measure the thickness, try a Vernier Caliper (normal or digital ones)
Very handy and I just found you could buy from an online shop without labels how great is that.
This is somthin i never thought of for detailing on a budget,
Awsume sauce
thank you, nice tips, good thing i keep some of them clips
wow am i happy i saved a load of those over the last 2 years just because why not.
This video made me want to get back to gundam kits. I’d love to do a custom man rodi
Awesome video, excited to see the color scheme you have in mind for this. Would be cool to see a video on dressing up hgs with like joint covers and inner skirt details.
I'm thinking of making a modification as well, this is a very innovative idea for customization.
I cant believe i never thought of this! Love the videos like this and i hope to see more customization tip videos! I really want to get into customizing my gunpla more, Awesome video!
Gosh 4.98 for bread.
I thought i was paying too much in my city.
Times are tough.
This is so smart! Never would have thought to do this!
Ive been eying the mg red warrio5r for a while now and here you are randomly using it on your video. Im taking this as a sign to get the kit. Lol
This is fantastic! I've never heard anyone talk about this before. Thanks:D
Wow... I didn't know Bread clips could be this useful!!! I gotta try this before I go buy the plaplates XD thank you!
🤩Amazing tips, never thought of using bread clips for my Gunpla!👏
I keep the thin plastic water bottle tops lol. I like a lot of ground types so I stack them to make a little base to prop up legs and have something to kneel on. Plus I make paper models and a lot of the time it adds weight and flat surface so they don't fall over when a door closes. This i most definitely will try too.
Oh dang, gonna start keeping those clips. Nice repurpose use of those little things.
This is brilliant and SO helpful! Thank you for posting!
Dude... Bread bag clips are like Swiss Army Knives that rank up there with Duct Tape! Lol... As a kid my mom taught me how to trim a bag clip in order to turn it into a guitar pick. 🤔🤘😏
Oh i’ve heard this one before, it’s a good one haha
To understand the shapes, refer to the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group.
Yep been using them for years i snatch em from the deli at my old job in the morning lol
If you have a strong enough magnet, the bread clips work decently as a detail piece to replace a peg if you cut it up. A friend of mine did so with an upgraded EG kit he was working on and told me about it...unfortunately, I then found out that the magnets I picked were not strong enough anyway, but wouldn't go through extra pieces of phot-etch that I was using for my own EG upgrade
Love these type of videos.
I never knew these things were polystyrene. Guess I'll have to start saving them.
Oh this is really neat. Little Extra pla plates when you buy bread. Here's the problem, I threw them away after all these years and now I should start collecting them...now?? 😂 (to some defense I only started building since 2020).
Bread is also getting inflated here in the US, I think I'm still going to stay with evergreen.
Good cheat code you got there
interesting! when i made my hyaku shiki wfm ver, i wanted to do the torso extension but i don't have any plaplate. So i ended up using the uhhh tabs on the hyaku shiki runners that i assume they used for plating the plastic. Sandwiched two of them and made a hole in the middle using a combination of cement, hobby knife, and soldering tool (yeah the build is very janked)
I've never seen those things in my entire life :0
States “I don’t know the thickness of the bread-clips”, shows use of calipers in the same video 😂
While a digital caliper might work, this one unfortunately just goes to the millimeter 🤷♂️
@@ZakuAurelius makes sense. End results looked great btw!
Bread here comes with metallic twist ties... still it is an interesting suggestion
As a Filipino, I ALREADY USING THIS METHOD, 7 years later, I still have enough materials to make too. :3
I've been wanting to get into gunpla but my hand stability is shit, so now I'm working extra hard and saving up for a da vinci machine
👏👏👏👏👏
Nice creative tip, thanks.
I am guessing you could also use anything of similar physical quality to bread clips.
Say like an unused plastic filing folder?
Nooo !!! Now the bread company with charge as more ~ 😨😨😨
I save plastic gift cards and such for a good source of pla-plate.
Well i know what i want to try at some point
I kinda wanna see if this could be used for detailing on Warhammer models too but deffo think it scales better on Gunpla
Damn wish I knew this sooner nowadays the bread clips in my city are all carton
Gardenia Bread Type to Choose Pla Plate Sure So Well
No bread clips or plastic ear buds in the UK anymore 😭
Great for those who like to cutomize! guess i'll be starting to collect them baddies😁
What other practical stuff does people uses for gunpla customizations?
Good idea for a future video! 👍
@@ZakuAurelius That's nice to hear. I see you are already working on the last idea with building the RG RX-78 recently!
Build and Review Solomon Model GP02 Physalis please!!!
Some genius decided to make all the bread clips out of card paper in my country, so it's probably still cheaper to import Pla Plate in my case.
Sheet styrene
is the amazing red warrior custom from a different video? are the backpack mounts custom or is it able to connect like that out of the box?
here we dont have bread clips, they just use a piece of wire D:
I save those wires and I can use them for repairs if a piece breaks and it needs reinforcement. Then I drill in tiny holes and then glue pieces of the wire into the holes to reconnect the piece/pieces back together and if it needs a stronger/bigger connection then I use a paper clip. It all depends on the size of the repair.
Very nice! loving all the tutorial videos lately.
i guess im eating bread until the next month🤣
Zip ties..👍🏻
hey zakuAurelius how come you never enter any of gunpla build tourneys?
We used to have these in the UK but pretty sure they were banned and replaced with a strip of sticky tape.
Never saw a bread clip. I'm gonna google to know what it is.
I noticed some of the plates on those pictures you posted look like they have tiny rivets on them, is there an easy way to add those on pla plate?
Also, would you recommend trying these kinds of really tiny detail work even on HG kits or other 1/144 kits?
I'd try this out... But bread in this country is sealed with a piece of tape. xD
😎👍🏼
This work with Battletech minis?
speaking of bread, meanwhile in Japan they sell plastic model kits of bread, I kid you not as in a bread model kit you assemble and paint, the selling point is they can be used as a "fake dummy sample" display in a bakery.
I'd just call them vents tbh
This may be one of those things that doesn’t make sense here in England, what on earth is a bread clip????
You take the open bread bag and twist the left over bag and slip the twisted bit of bag in the clip through the top and it holds it.

It's a clip we use to tie off bags of bread so we don't use the aluminium twist ties
@@xvx_K1r1t0_xvx_killmeee that’s amazing, our bags of bread come with a bit of tape to seal them
This an American thing? I've never seen one of these in my life.
Rip to places that use paper bread clips. Lol
bread clips here in the netherlands are made of cardboard😢
I thought you’ll eat bread
What the hell is bread clip?
So you guys clip your bread to something?
Wtf
So flat peices of PS plastic. Lots of disposables are PS. Including shaver handles
unfortunately, all the bread here have swapped to cardboard clips
aaaand they are made of cardboard now :(
No!!!! Not the bread clips
why does this feel so asian 😂
@theredrock5783 also shared using the stick-on signages can be use like pla plates. i use and have a stash of these bread clips too
Lets get that bread.
