What tools do I need to assemble a GUNPLA?

Great lz, you should have the following tools:

1 model scissors. A tool used to cut plastic model parts. The front end is thin and flat.

You can't save money and not buy it. In addition, some art scissors and nail clippers should not be used because the blade is not sharp enough and is easy to destroy the parts, and the cutter head is not conducive to cutting parts from the template.

2 pen knives or utility knives.

It is used to cut nozzles or cut parts. Be careful to keep the blade sharp.

3 files or sandpaper.

The file is capable of working on edges or joint surfaces on a part. Flat file, round file, semi-round file, basically enough. There are also special metal files, but they are not currently used.

Be careful when using a file, because too much force will damage the parts, so file gently to achieve your desired goal little by little.

Gunpla is usually made with water sandpaper, which means that it can be used in water to remove debris generated during sanding. Water sandpaper is divided into different models, such as 400, 600, 800, etc., the larger the number, indicating the finer the texture, generally use 400 or 600 first on the surface of the part rough grinding, in the use of 800-1500 respectively fine grinding.

They are all used to destroy the water mouth. (The nozzle is the interface between the part and the template).

4 Gundam markers.

It is used for coloring or groove lines, because the color separation of the model is not very comprehensive, in order to pursue perfection, it is indeed necessary to color. When using a pen to color, you should first apply a layer, dry and then add another layer, layer by layer, layer by layer, until the color is uniform, so that the paint can be fully covered on the model.

The above are the tools used by my own elemental group.

1 model forceps, surgical scissors are also available.

2 pen knives, the same goes for scalpel blades.

If you have a plain group, you can do these two things, be careful to cut a little more when cutting off the plate, and then use a pen knife to trim it off little by little, if there is a white nozzle, you can generally use your nails to gently scrape a few times.

Generally, you can also use a black marker pen to construct a slight line, and the effect will be better.

LZ step by step.

It is recommended that you should learn to spray paint, the effect is much better than the marker, and it will be very useful in the future, buy a spray gun and art air pump that suits you, the price is expensive and cheap, try it yourself, it's fun. Of course, you still have to explore and practice more skills on your own!

This thing has to be explored by oneself to be valuable.

1. No matter how you polish the nozzle, there will sometimes be whitishness. Generally, 800 mesh water sandpaper is smoothed, 1500 mesh is slightly smooth, and 2000 mesh water sandpaper is finally sanded once and there are no traces of polishing. (2000 mesh can even polish the primary mirror).

2. Seamless treatment requires the use of slip glue, toothpaste to fill the soil, and large seams also need to be ab to fill the soil. However, it must be colored after a seamless process.

3. The seepage line can buy the enamel paint of Tianmiya, and the ratio of solvent to paint is 3:1. After the paint flow is wrong, wipe it off with a cotton swab dipped in solvent.

In fact, to make a model prime, you also need to color. Generally, if you don't do MAX painting or complex painting, you only need to paint with a pen.

It is recommended that the landlord buy Tiangong water-based paint transparent yellow, blue, and red three primary colors, plus white and black, and adjust whatever color you want. In this way, the landlord can also do it seamlessly if he wants to. The ratio of solvent to paint is 2:1 when applying the pen.

A list of all things and **I'll talk about it:

Tiangong water sandpaper 800 1500 2000 10 yuan each 10 * 3 yuan.

Tamiya black enamel lacquer 8 yuan for a bottle 8 yuan.

Enamel lacquer solvent 40ml 15 yuan per bottle.

Water-based pitch black, white, transparent three primary colors 8 yuan per bottle 8 * 5 yuan.

Water-based paint solvent 250ml 35 yuan per bottle.

Toothpaste fills the soil at 19 yuan per strip and 19 yuan.

Tamiya orange cap glue 13 yuan per bottle 13 yuan.

The total cost of these consumables is 160 yuan, but it is enough to make 50-100 GUNPLAs. (Water-based paint and solvents will consume a little more, in my use, except for water-based paint and solvents, other consumables are almost not consumed).

The advice to the landlord is that the model pit is large, and the model should not be too fine. GUNPLA recommends the HGUC and RG series. 250 yuan to buy more than consumables plus a UC as an entry is excellent.

I hope the landlord will adopt it.

1. The gentleman's is good, you can try the color black.

2. At least 800 to 2000 polishing in turn It is necessary to complete two effects and finally use coarse polishing paste.

3. It's not a pit This ** is very cheap.

4. My cutter head is generally replaced by 3 changes, which is not necessary, and it is necessary to change 5.

6. For example, the model has no holes.

2.White and scratches belong to the phenomenon of albinism, which is caused by the careless use of tools (as for how to prevent the occurrence of albinism, there are still some searches) After the albinism occurs, just use a marker of the same color to make up for it, and the sandpaper No. 800 is better to use.

If you use a pencil to outline the line, it is recommended to spray a layer of matting and then outline the line (so that the surface becomes rough and easy to outline), it is recommended to use a pen above 4b, as for ** to hook this, you can refer to the manual.

6.I remember that there are universal brackets for sale, you can go and search for them.

3.I really don't know about this.

I only know about the prime group.

First you need a pliers, which are used to cut the parts out of the plate. This really pays for a penny, and the more mainstream is the Tamiya gold medal scissors, 2500 yen, an RG money, and the difference between it and ordinary pliers who knows. Of course, there are also more powerful pliers, and the shear does not turn white......But 280 oceans, you know.

Then there is the pen knife, which has many uses, such as repairing the water outlet, scraping the color out of bounds, etc., which is very important. I also use Tamiya's, 40+ meters with a bunch of blades. However, in my classmate's experience, a dozen domestic pieces can meet the demand.

However, as far as the repair of the spout is concerned, I will not use a pen knife but a utility knife ......

All kinds of sandpaper, sanding sticks. The grinding rod is also a few dollars expensive, and a set of more than a dozen yuan of sandpaper Tiangong is of course used to polish the ...... of the water mouth

Spy? I don't know what to call this tool, within 3 pieces, the effect can escape sandpaper is more convenient for sanding, of course, its main role is to pry open the model, which is very useful when it is wrong.

Engraving pen, when the idle egg hurts, increase the engraving pen.

All kinds of markers, generally 15 pieces, 3 kinds are used to draw lines, 1 is used to erase the color pen, and the rest is used for coloring. If you want to draw the line, using a mechanical pencil (Mitsubishi's for my refill, the quality is better) can be better on light-colored parts, and it is more accurate. Of course you'll bleed that when I didn't say.

Coloring pen, used for color mixing, coloring finger core vertical, etc., ultra-fine face brushes can trace the details, it is not recommended to buy too cheap, one or two pieces are too poor. 5 pieces and 1 stick is good.

Tweezers are useful for clamping parts and when applying stickers. above
