modeling mistakes worth remembering...

[blunarobot]

Knives are no no.... if you dont have a budget for cutters try to use nippers... borrow one from your sis or mom.... but then i suggest tamiya cutters...

[no3Ljm]

Bandai Plastic Cutters is available at GT. not so sure about the price. roughly around P400+. or you could try ACE hardware for a counterpart.

Price varies depending on the model.
For reference, check here.
They're available at Lil's and a bit cheaper than posted link above.

Can the Tamiya cutter cut all the way through the excess plastic? I know that non-tamiya ones will still leave a bit of plastic cutting.

Tamiya cutter is the best one I've used, if you cut it right, there's almost no need to sand it off.

[zephyranthes]

Which one do you use the "Modeler's Side Cutter" or the "Sharp Pointed Side Cutter" ?

[SEELE01]

I bought the Sharp Pointed Side Cutter at Lil's for P810.

I think their difference lies on the applied force needed to cut the sprue, mine has a cutter closer to the pivot so it cuts like a warm knife on a butter. It also looks heavier and better grip (rough rubber handles).

When I bought my cutter, the only ones available are the 'sharp pointed side cutter' and the 'side cutter for plastic', the latter is a cheaper by approx P100.

wow! i guess those cutters are worth the price huh? how about nippers? are tamiya's nippers worth the 700+ pesos compared to the other nippers?

I don't understand what you mean. There's no such thing as 'Tamiya nipper', they're all called 'cutters' and they are listed here.

i apologize for the misunderstanding. i thought 'cutter' was just the blade, like a scalpel per se.

funny right? just laugh at me.

I just bought the Tamiya Sharp Pointed Cutter. It's godly. ;D

My sanding efforts got reduced by 70%.

Glad you approved of it.
Did the price changed?
