Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 3 months ago So I’m thinking about get a Titanium Finish kit of the MG Shinanju. I was wanting to know if there is any particular way to remove the parts from the runner. Without leaving a nub or taking off the finish. I only ask since I built an HG Unicorn Destroy mode Titanium finish, and I’m left with ether nubs with the finish or an area where I trimmed of the nub and no finsih.

Oh god, I know your pain with that unicorn and anyone intested in the plated hg phenex i WARN with nub marks…
I looked around, but its not possible, logic dictates there isn’t a way since it uses a simple base plastic in qhich a silver then a colored metallic coat go onto, to cut WILL leave marks…
There is a tutorial by vegeta8259 on youtube…basically you’ll need paint and a good sense of color…
Or just avoid metallic kits altogether, even stuff like the hyaku shiki and delta gundam have nub marks, just in not normally worrying areas like arm joints and so forth…
Also, try visiting dalong dot net, if you can navigate around you may be able to find the titanium finish version of the shinanju and see what possible damage would be visible…
Also good news, if you ever consider the mg banshee titanium finish it won’t be too bad, that kit uses a darker colored plastic as its base, from the dalong pictures they aren’t noticeable (he compared to the mg unicorn, funny enough same bad nub as the hg but being a bigger kit not as easy to see) due to the said under plastic…sorry for no easy solution…
TLDR, only option is to paint, or check dalong dot net for previews, good luck 🙂
Thanks for the help. I will go look on the website. I’m not very good with painting or selecting the color but if i get time I’ll give it a go.
Certainly won’t be easy, but if you do find the time be sure to do a test practice on something other than the piece you wish to fix, for me I just try not to look at the kits too much and put them in the back away from sight XD
Just in case you want to paint the sinanju like the titanium color coat. Is pretty simple, Gaianote Starbright silver, then coat with Gaianote clear red. Depend how many coat you want, darker red need more.
I did mine, with 2 coat. Still working on it. And yes, painting it need patient as clear color tend to runny than normal color.
Hey Thanks for the tip. But I’ve in the process of painting it. I’m going for a blue, silver and black colour scheme.
