Putting together my first kit, and all similar beginner tip/trick Reddit threads are dead to me 😤 So I’d love to get one going here! Any tips/tricks you have to help out??

    I bought the Bandai “Entry Nipper” at the game store 😅 They’ve done the job, but something sharper would be nice! The aluminum foil trick is very good to know ✍

    When cutting the sprue, should I cut as close to the piece as possible, or leave a bit of a nub and use a razor blade to remove it?

      Depends on the part - I generally try and leave nubs on and then go back at them again with the sharpest thing I’ve got to make a clean cut. The Bandai nippers should be plenty sharp for both of those steps, I wouldn’t bother with a razor blade unless you really want to.
