Gundam Supplies!
The other day I ordered some supplies and they came today! I got Gundam Markers, a line engraver, Tamiya Extra Thin Cement, scalpal and some finishing abrasives (wet sand paper).
I found out that I bought the WRONG Gundam markers. The ones I have here are for painting, but I needed one for panel lining. Just incase, if you were wondering, here’s a description of what each thing here is for.
Scalpal - it’s for scraping off some nubs or cutting various things.
Line Engraver - just to widen lines. I found this tool to be useless after my first use.
Tamiya Extra Thin Cement - this is for fusing together two pieces to remove seam lines.
Tamiya Finish Abrasives - this is sand paper for wet sanding. Wet sanding is used for removing nubs and giving it a nice finished polished look.
Gundam Markers - Originally, I wanted to use this for panel lining, but I bought the wrong set. This is used for coloring Gundams.
Oh I also forgot to mention my HG Aile Gundam Strike

When building a gundam these are a definite must:
Putty( NON - ACIDIC, its a big deal since some will MELT the plastic)
a Scalpet(helps remove nubs smoothly before sanding)
Sand paper of nail filer
Primer
Paint
Also if ur into decals:
Gundam Markers(I myself just use a tooth pick dipped in black paint) (when u mess up and it goes off the line, try using an eraser to get it off)
Eraser(explained above)
Tooth PICKS- Helps lining and gives you something to chew on when bored
