Good luck. I am still on the new side but i am interested to see how you do some of your work. See if i can find things to push my builds to the next level.
Just put in an order on amazon for a 4 sided block to give it a try. Thanks again for the tip, been trying to find ways to fix that myself. At this point the only thing i have found is to do a little touch up with a Gundam marker, but even that is a little off. So this would fix that for the most part.
You’re welcome. I hope it works out well for you too. I’ve tried touch-ups on OOB builds before and it really isn’t the same. Closest I’ve ever gotten (based off of red and blue parts) is having a tiny bit of white from the nub mark left. So tiny that not even rubbing the area with a fingernail could remove it.
Ok so arms are done. On to the lower half of the model. I will try and get a few in process shots this time, not just of the finished piece. Keep forgetting as i am working on them.
I was surprised how well it worked. If I use all three pads on that stick (one after the other), the resulting shine is better than the original plastic.
Just note that it’s only good for returning or bringing the shine onto a surface. Standard sandpaper and files/hobby knives are still ideal for general removal of nubs.

Yay – The new post field is back 🙂
So i was able to get the torso done last night. I did find that there is a lot more light leaking from the LED that i thought there would be. You can see it in the pic from the front. There is a lot of green around the neck. Will have to address that at some point and see if can cover that up. Other then…[Read more]
Having the same issue. I can reply to any post but the window for a new post is just not there. Been trying to put an update on my build as well. Tried Windows, Mac, and IOS. Firefox, IE, Safari, and Crome. All have the same issue. Guess i will just have to keep trying.
Gundam panel line marker + eraser/nail polish remover for cleanup.
