If you decide to really get into it these are a must. Put in an order and hope you don't have to wait six months like I did.

Explain why these are so good? I wanna hear a testimony before i drop 30 + shipping.

God Hand nippers are far sharper than any other availible; they also leave virtually no nubs (reducing time spend sanding and trimming; in addition if you don't paint, they're far less likely to make visible plastic stress marks when cutting the proper way). They require caution when using since they go through plastic like butter, and they'll eventually start to dull after 45 MG kits or so in my experience. It takes some adjustment when using these, as you want to apply as little force as possible (you'll also want to strictly use them for removing parts from runners/trimming off nubs).

Additionally, like all steel tools, you'll need to care for them as well (I regularly spray them with WD-40 to ward off rust after each use; I also store my tools with silica gel packets too). The gel part is probably excessive, but the WD-40 sprayings are the most basic and easy preventive measures you can take to ensure tool longevity.

Where can I see the new Fenice kit that you mentioned is coming out? Is it a HG or MG? I'd like to see it but can't find it

nvm found it. whoever made that likes delonge style panel lines jesus christ. looks good, can't see much difference

**Edelweiss** · 2014-08-03 21:49

Dalong just does those super dark and thick lines for reviews. They're cleaned up heavily or outright redone afterwards.

**Tyrath** · 2014-08-06 15:33

Made a bit of progress on my first one.

Spoiler: show

I'm finding that HG pieces are sometimes way to small for me to work with so I'll probably do MG next. Thinking about this one atm:

I have bad news for you..

**Tyrath** · 2014-08-06 16:05

<_< Was hoping the size upgrade would help with that, but not so huh?

**Edelweiss** · 2014-08-06 16:12

Going to have to get cross action tweezers I guess if you're having problems with small parts.

You might also want to make it a point to research your kits beforehand via http://dalong.net.

**Tyrath** · 2014-08-06 16:55

I mean I was able to work with them, just found a few small bits to be annoying. But if I run into more of it in the future it's not a huge deal.

Also first one complete. Minus decals and small touch ups. Haven't gotten around to that stuff yet.

**Serra** · 2014-08-06 18:27

If you like the Red Frame, there's a new Blue Frame MG that's coming out soon. As far as I know, there's been no indication it's going to be a P-Bandai.

Spoiler: show

Probably going to be the next kit I purchase.

**Insanecyclone** · 2014-08-06 23:53

Finally made my first purchase through HLJ. Been wanting to order but shit always not in stock or backordered.

Got the K9 GM and Gouf custom coming soon. Hope it includes some good hg wep customize kits

**Tyrath** · 2014-08-07 00:14

Btw all this gundam stuff is making me want to watch the recent gundams I've missed. Already did Unicorn. Whats the word on Seed, Seed Destiny, and AGE? Also why are AGE models so cheap? Does it suck?

**Vandole** · 2014-08-07 00:22

japan fucking loves seed but it sucks. they ffx that shit. easily one of the worst final fantasies but JP cannot get over it.

go watch build fighters. it's silly but has good action scenes.

**Tyrath** · 2014-08-07 00:26

Not sure if I have any interest in Gundam Yugioh :/

Maybe if I get more freetime.

It won't be an online exclusive; however there is supposedly an exclusive version in the works that will include the first official Lohengrin launcher parts.

I don't know where you ordered it all from, but places like walmart and autoshops carry sandpaper if you need more in the future.
