Tutorial – Nubs Gone Away!! (with Gundam Marker)
Two days ago, I posted my WIP for MG Hi-Nu Gundam, Part 1.
There I show you how I manage to deal with the nubs 
so, today I want to show you all how I got this done.
For starter, I took one part away from its runner, still have the nubs.
First, I cut the excessive part with my cutter (or side-cutter).
Even with that, I still have the white mark after the cut problem, next I use sand papers.
I use two types: the 500 ones which I use first, then 1000 ones later.
After sanding, I rub the part with my finger, but the white part is still there.
So, I use a similar colour Gundam Marker to fix this.
Notice that I use Gundam Marker for Lining, Brush Type. I use this before to paint Exia’s shield and know that this type is not for painting (marking) >_<. Use the correct type for its functionality.
Even similar, the colour has difference, so I rub again with finger, brush again if the white part sticks, and violla… it’s gone.
Other parts which I use the same treatment. But I can’t fix the blue part because I don’t have blue colour >_<
Hope you could find my tutorial helpful. I'll post the rest WIP part 2 later with Unicorn WIP part 1 by my brother.
Until next time
well I did the same but using snowman LOL nah I am to lazy to do that since I finished all my gundam as fast as possible >.>
not try looking for gundam marker set it’s cost around 160.000(as long under 180.000 it’s normal) and got 6 basic color
or use another color replacement like snowman permanent ink for the whiteboard I mean the permanent one not for the whiteboard >.>
Ah, the “hiding nub marks with marker” trick.
And yeah, the easiest to hide will be the black ones, as for the other colours like you ‘d said, need to have the right colour markers.
But then again, I notice you won’t get any marks (or very less of it) if you cut at certain pressure and angle. It happens sometimes with mine.
@moemoekyun:
well, finish one and I’ll have to buy another
that’s why I don’t want to finish it fast.
a set… might think about that, but I’ll have to go to bookstore first ASAP >_<
@bd77:
I’ve encountered the blue part yesterday, really need to find right colour.
maybe I’ll go to bookstore bringing some runner part with me
anyway hongli not made gundam marker
??
nope
guess they think too many other brand made the replacement, like snowman.
Nice tutorial,now I learn more things about gunpla ^^
I try to learn more and more, even at the first time I’ve never though that I will put these much effort for gunpla
Oh, that’s a GN cutter!
your nub mark removal trick is nice bro! I’m sure after topcoat, it’ll blend with the original color even more.
GN-Cutter, LOL.
Tomorrow tokukatsu will demonstrate topcoat to me, if he had his topcoat delivered, don’t know the use of topcoat till now…
