On this post i will talk about de "enssential" tools that you will need if you want start building gunpla.
You
don't need any special tools to build gunpla, but there are some out there that
will make it easier for you to build and will improve the final product.
1- A cutting mat is essencial if you
don't want to damage the table that you are building the gunpla.
2- Nipers, or
side cutters are ideal for cutting parts of the runners, they look like pliers
but the tips are made to cut plastic. You are going to use them a lot so I
really recommend that you get a good pair of them.
3-Next is the Hobby Knife and
blades i use it primarily to clean
Gundam parts from gate marks and seam lines. Try to use a new blade for every
Gundam kit. That will keep your blades sharp and you will be happy with your
results.
4- Sandpaper/file sets is for a more tidy finish, I use it after my hobby knife. I use two types, No.
400 for cleaning gate marks and seam lines, and No. 1200 for a smooth finish. That's
all the tools you will need for a basic, clean assembly.
