I really like HobbyLobby

I started assembling the 1/100 00 Gundam with light-up GN Drives yesterday. I was getting a bit frustrated because I was using one of the manicuring tools to cut the pieces from the runners. It seemed to ‘crush’ the ends every now and then so I went to Hobby Lobby to get a 4 1/2 sprue cutter. I also got a Faber Castell watercolor pencil and 3 Sakura Koi water brush(small,medium, and large). Thank goodness for sales and the beloved 40% coupon. ^^* I’ve grown interest in the waterbrush after seeing it once before. I’d like to try and learn how to use them with COPiC markers… You can find information about the waterbrush here and here.

I really do enjoy using the sprue cutter I got. It’s a baby blue color so it’s cute (imo). But yeah, it rarely crushes the sprue as long as I don’t cut too close for the first snip. I’ve also used it to trim the antenna of the Gundam’s helmet. As for the green stickers; I’m not fond of using them because Gundam stickers aren’t too appealing sometimes… Instead, I’ve colored the inside of the clear E parts with a Sharpie markker. I’ve done this method similarly for my Freedom Gundam’s rail guns. Originally, there was no stickers to place in it, so I just colored the inside of the clear parts with a Prang metallic blue marker.
The upper portion is mostly done.
