my tips when building a gunpla model:

Step 1:
make sure your work table is well-lighted and you can see everything on it.

Step 2:
Check your floors, make sure they are now dark (don’t wanna lose black parts now do we?), make sure your floor is not in wooden planks (they are the line-shaped black holes), and make sure your floor is not carpeted (they are like the ELS, once something is infected by it’s grey skin, it’s gone forever)

Step 3:
Tools: A good par of side cutters (i use wire cutters), a hobby knife (or an art knife or a very small cutter), and some coloring pens/gundam markers, and a .05 pen or get yourself a panel line pen.

Step 4: Cut as far away from the piece as possible, leaving a small amount of the gate still on it. If the Gate’s too short, cut off the fat connector and just trim it down to size (still leaving a little piece of the gate on the piece).

Step 5: Use your cutter/hobby knife/design knife to take out those excess gates and smooth out the part, use the gundam markers/coloring pens for the discoloration.

Step 5(Optional): file the nubs down then apply the gundam markers/C.P’s

Step 6: Panel lining
Guide:
White piece: use a gray panel liner (i use a pencil)
dark-colored piece: use the black panel liner
Red/Gold: use the Brown panel liner.

Step 7: finish the rest of the assembly applying steps 1-6.

Step 8: Celebrate with a glass of water, some snacks, or take a rest.
