    I bought a gundam from japan while i was there for holidays! It was a big burden as it was big but yet, still feeled with excitment as i carried home. This mega size gundam was indeed fun to build and to make it more challenging, i decided to paste these water stickers and do a little markings as i have never done it before even though i built many gundams. My parents find that buying a gundam is only a toy and waste of money but to me, it is not a toy, but a true hobby to put your heart and soul into it, and thus, i also result in lack of tools to work with the gundam. All of my gundams that i had were made simply by just cutting and not even clearing the nubs found. As i did not want to bother my parents, i saved up my own money just to buy a gundam home. All the tools i had is just a cutter borrowed from my brother as he is an electrical engineer. To clean up the nubs just for this gundam, i used a rusty razor blade (cause there weren’t any blade i have is as sharp as that) and to have a better looking, i just took a thin black marker to mark the lines as i did not have a Gundam marker. It was really fun to build this RX-78-2 Gundam and i find that my efforts were paid off. These were my working progress during the november week…

    • nice..until now I just used only nail clipper to cut from the runner and hobby knife that I bought at 100 yen shops in my country…nice kit but I thought megasize dont need any cutter as it can be easily separated from the runner using the supplied gunpla parts separator that its bundled with?

      • The parts connected to the wire is indeed thin but still, im afraid that if that there might be a breakage, thus i still use the cutters to cut. Even if it is easily seperated just by pulling out, some edges are still left behind to cut off..
