Gunpla Tutorial: Easiest Way to Remove Seam Lines 

yes and maybe also start with P400 paper, but first use an exacto knife to drag of some of the glue.

THANK YOU. My teacher back in school told me the same thing during a polishing lesson.

it also helps make sure you get all the marks off from previous grit. If your going horizontal and see some slight scratches vertical you know those are deeper from the previous grit

thankyou

Why does this comment section seems so sketchy... Am I being fooled?

SLIghtier The music makes it better

Lmao it is

Just boss music all of sudden when you realize the part will break if you not careful.

Wsp g

nice idea I will try it. Thanks.

I remember when I first saw someone do this. So simple yet so genius.

What if your painting it then it wont matter right

@@toosmooth6124 The point is to remove seam lines, paint won't really cut it alone

@@St4rTr3v1Ut10n but he removed it with cement

You'd think he'd bother to have clean hands and trim those nails - fricking vile.

@HyperDrive you heard it here first folks, cutting your nails is gay.

@HyperDrive calm down.

@@nf4866 I guess being hygienic is gay now haha

This is convenient for him since he has parts separators for nails.

Its been 4 years, u done?

legend has it, he's still removing the seam lines

@@dysfunctional_hands Yeah… had a baby so at least 18 more years.

@@Phoenix-gi9kx nope. Spend all my time on car parts and baby now.

yeah pretty lame bunch of girls these days

yes but they are rather disgusting, and when I se them close up on my 65 inch 4K TV its to much to handle.

@@Lofvars83 ok we get it u rich.. then ?

​@@arandomfish5517 Haha, that´s not my point at all, we live in 2019, a 65 inch 4K TV is not much money now a days, I live on welfare.

@@Lofvars83 so you're a parasyte. Your opinion on anything doesn't matter at all.

Afiq Haizi feelsbad lol

Yeah.

Afiq Haizi well his nails ARE bad, but beside that.. Way too much effort.. Simply run the cement, the extra thin one is better over the seam and then file it down with 240 and finer.. Quicker n easier

I was gonna say the same thing...

Afiq Haizi i guess, the sand paper should be his nails lol

alec cap sorry for this stupid question but can you use normal clear glue for this method of yours? I am very new to this so I will appreciate some help.

@@warrior8954 Difference between what he used and regular glue, is that this stuff actually bonds the plastic together into one piece. Thus why it's called plastic cement.

To the point where it doesn't stink up the entire room. Like if there is a slight feint odor, that's alright. Know what I mean.

@@umpalumparcool I think I do. I've messed with it a few times, but always wearing a mask while I do.

Francisco Chavez if u paint u see nothing

The light clrarly shows that the surface is smooth, and that’s all you care about when painting. A little difference in the color of the plastic when there was the separation line means nothing

huge nails!? so they grow crosswise too?

Paint it after. No sense in painting it first if you're going to have unsightly gaps and smears from the cement.

You first need to make sure to grow your nails like the guy in the video.

I believe the P means its using the Euro designation for grit. For example I think P2000 is the same as a standard 1000 grit sandpaper en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpaper

of course you can paint over it! but use spray or airbrush. You can by sanding paper in every home improvement store, DIY store, places like paint stores and maybe in stores for car parts, he used first 2 sizes, P600 then P800 and after that he used a punch type of grit but that not relevant it was size P1000 and the P is meant particles per square mm or inch, the higher the number the finer the grit (paper) but you dont need to go that fine if you then going to paint it. if you are going to paint it I think P400 is OK, but to be sure go for P600. (if you only uses brush to paint remember to thin the paint!)

@@Lofvars83 Awesome! Thank you so much! :D

Joe Jensen if it's like a IMS kit were it makes you glue the kit together then it doesn't matter you can still sand it and do a steamline removal.

Get some plastic clamps. Squeeze until you notice the plastic melting together, then put a clamp on to hold it tight until it dries.

How about Mechanicore.... Oh god

200 pieces- 20 hours- quik maf

Welcome to the hobby

You probably put too much so it ate through, also you might’ve cut too much of the nub off so it sunk, leave a bit of nub if u gonna cement

Did you use a paint thinner that is also a plastic cement chemical

You connect it after applying the cement then you squeeze it and then sand it

@@charlesv581 is there a way to take it apart in the future without causing too much damage to the plsstic?

@@jensenlopez2944 there is probably no way to do that without damaging anything

Konpaundo yori juutansan so-da to supa gu-ru no hou ga yasukunai?

No,because the plastic was melted in the process

I'm a newbie to gunpla, what's cross filing?

@@alzeuselric1997 I do a lot of 40k big models. Cross filing is going lateral across the gap and using the plastic shavings to fill the hole instead. Plastic glue while can work this way is more work than it's worth for that instance.

No

Still better though

ZHER0 *these* *his*

is "the join" the peg that enters the hole to mate the two pieces?
