@@SAOS451316 they're stickers... What practice do you need with stickers?! They came with Kinder Surprise toys. If you need practice with applying stickers, there's something wrong with you... And, they'll come off after awhile.
In place of the toothpick, I like to cut one end of a q-tip off at an angle (the ones with paper sticks) you get a nice point still, but since it's paper instead of wood it won't scratch up the sticker.
Take one drop of dish soap and mix it with 4oz water(this doesn’t have to be precise, you just barely want to see the color of the soap) then spray the area you want to sticker with it. The dish soap will keep the sticker from sticking until you’ve set it exactly where you want. Rub with a q-tip to set. This saved me thousands in damaged models over my lifetime.
Thanks for this video! I recently started building the RG Wing Gundam as my first ever Gunpla and those small stickers are a nightmare for a noob like me.
Same, I have a shaky hand and it's a real struggle with all the stickers on the little SD guys. At least the HG has less stickers and more parts detail :)
What’s funny is I always thought to use a toothpick because I knew the wooden tip would be soft at the tip. I always thought however that I was doing it all wrong and needed a different tool, then I saw this vid. Thanks!
gonna start building an sd gundam in a bit and wanted to learn how to put the stickers on better (after so much struggle with the pieces that wrap around), thanks for the tip with the toothpick!
Instead of tweezers, I usually use the end of my razor and my fingertip as tweeters so I don't have to constantly press down on tweezer grips since my hands are pretty shaky. Though precision tweezers work too
