And after attempting both methods, the hobby knife trimming works better for me.

Not sure how I’m going to go about that yet, but I have an idea I’m going to try.

Nice, got that part done. Sanding away the nubs or trimming with the knife? Or perhaps both?

Why are you washing it before you cut the parts out? You’ll likely get skin oil back unto the parts when you’re trimming it. Then you would have to wash it again before priming.

… Whoopsie.

It probably won’t matter too much if you’re not planning to doing any tape masking but I just had a couple spot where the masking tape manage to peel off some paint on my current build and I did the wash after cut and sand and made sure I washed my hands before putting on the sticks to prime.

Apparently I had to recreate my account?

I think most of what was added since the last recovery was lost, including new user accounts. PMs were lost too.
-
That would explain it. I couldn’t log in, and the password reset form said my email address did not exist.

I’m more concerned with nub removal. I’ve never used sandpaper or files to remove gate remains before, and although the results appear to be cleaner than my previous method, I feel that it is more prone to failure.

I’ve always used a good old hobby knife to remove nubs, and I count the bad slices on cuts on one hand. I wrap the four fingers on my dominant hand around the blade and then use them to pull the blade towards the same hand’s thumb, while holding the part with my off hand. This gives me much more control over the final product than sanding does,…[Read more]

^should be: ” . . . I can count the number of bad cuts on one hand.” This is out of over 80 fully assembled kits (most of which are Master Grades with hundreds, if not thousands, of opportunities to screw up per kit).

You’re officially in the Group Build now, haha. No worries about the end date or anything. Take your time and submit whenever.

Dlinker is right man. We just put a deadline on it for the the sake of doing so. Doesn’t mean that you have to have it done by then.

If the box gets wet then it would leak through to the instructions, would it not?

Thank the bubble wrap, the kit is in good shape. Looking forward to what you got planned for this.

Good thing it was wrapped. Where did you order it from?

I’ve opened it, but the bubble-plastic wrap was so tightly wound around the box that all water has virtually been sealed off from entering. I’ll certainly be sending them pictures of the damage, however.

Don’t open it. Bring it to the post office and report the damage immediately.

I saw the kit is fine, but in the future, who cares if the box gets wet, the plastic is protected, and any decals are in an airtight plastic bag. ^_^

GM’s always come first as my favorite mobile suit, because their sheer simplicity makes them look extremely good. Great airbrush work, and good choice of colors as well.
