Modeling question (Related to sanding)
I haven't posted here in a long time.. I was just wondering about the best ways for sanding accordingly to the shape of the part. For instance, having sandpaper put on something that if soft/rubbery, such as your finger, helps to not flaten out rounded parts as the sandpaper can easly mold in shape ...

Using the nippers first is what you should be doing. But as you'll find out, plastics in these models can have an array of different hardnesses. Some can be stiff and difficult to cut cleanly and some can be relatively soft and easy to cut. After a while you'll find that on softer plastics, leaving...

Thanks for the help guys. But can somebody show me what kind of clippers in a picture? Mainly because is there much diffrence between using them and nippers? What I do is use nippers to get rid of most of the sprue and then just cut with the exacto knife.. but usually I either scrape parts I don't w...

Exacto knife tips wanted
I understand that modelling is mainly about finding things out for yourself and ways that suit you. But I really do need some tips too for using an exacto knife. I also understand it takes practice but some tips would be nice to help me understand better how to use them to make nice clean cuts for t...

Try using the Xacto at a 45 degree angle to the proper corner to shave off the slag. This way, even if you're a little imprecise, the divot won't be so bad. Also, shave very gently. If the knife starts catching on something, you're probably starting to cut into the model proper rather than the extr...

If you could take a pic of the problem area it would be a huge help. I may try.. but I'm not even sure my camera is even able to keep focus so close since they are small. Ill try to explain better beforehand. EDIT: Okay I used an image from dalong to show you. I do not own the image and will use a ...

^^ This takes an extremely steady hand, but you can gently slide the xacto along the ragged spru to slice it off. When I cut pieces off the sprus I use a snipper but leave a good sized chunk of spru left on the piece. It actually makes it a bit easier to cut off a larger left over piece of spru tha...

Re: Gurren-Lagann Revoltech?
During my perusal of the earlier episodes of Gurren-Lagann (which, sadly, is all I've been able to get up to recently, having only recently finished downloading the series), I noticed that the titular mech would make one hell of a Revoltech figure. Has there been any news on this at all? I noticed ...

How do you remove marks in the mold parts +EDIT:new question
Usually. You get these weird wavey lines in parts in the mold
How do I remove these marks or whatever? Im guessing sanding but is there anything else special to it? I'd rather not screw up my models so I wanna check to make sure.

SO basically spray it down to a gray. What would I use to get rid of all of the oil residue? Well.. not just gray but get an ACTUAL primer spray can.. they may even come in white ect. Just wash the parts with soap in a basin with a toothbrush to clean them. Also experiment and research more before ...

What If I weren't to do the whole kit, But rather thick details that would normally be put in with stickers? By thick I mean not the size of a panel line but a pretty large detail in comparison like... a panel line but 5 times as thick as a normal panel line. EDIT: By prime he meant to wash the kit ...
