Here's a set I found on Amazon.

u/backstept · 3 pointsr/Gunpla

I got a cheap kit when I was first starting out. I have since replaced everything inside with upgraded tools.
Here's what I put inside:

  • Gundam Planet Nippers
  • NT Cutter Hobby Knife
  • Metal File
  • Steel Ruler
  • Tweezers
  • Magic Files (600, 800 grits)
  • Buffing Block
  • Pin Vise and Drill Bits
  • X-Acto Handle
  • Tamiya Photoetch saws for use with X-Acto handle
  • 0.15mm chisel chucked in a small pin vise (魁 or Saki-Gake on Amazon)
  • Madworks Scribing Guide + Hook Scriber
  • Mission Model 2mm Chisel
  • Mini file set

    It all fits. I can usually find space in my gunpla box to carry it to and from build meets.

    I don't want to get zapped by AutoModerator by posting the full Amazon link, but you can paste this after the Amazon url Gundam-Modeler-Assemble-Building-Alemon/dp/B01D1JYXKO/

Honestly... at face value the kit looks okay but it probably comes with a lot of cheap crap you might not care about. I saw this in the similar section and I reckon that's enough if you wanna save a few more bucks and are keen on a set.

But if you're already willing to spend $20-30 then you can get what I suggested within that budget along with the knife you linked to (this and this, there's a few sellers for each you can get via Prime). That and some sandpaper from your hardware store and you'll be good to go dude.

Ultimately don't worry too much about the tools. You can make do with just sandpaper, a hobby knife and a crap pair of wire cutters and still do fine. Hell, that's all I had when I was a kid lol :P

Of course! And here's a bonus link to a pretty solid starter kit for the tools. It was the perfect little kit for me to get my feet wet with - and if you decide you genuinely like the hobby, you can upgrade your tools as you see fit! Cheers!

The gear I used for this, plus the kit itself, I all got from Amazon.

A Basic Modelling Tools Kit and the Gundam Marker Value Set.

u/HiBEARnated · 1 pointr/Gunpla

Building my first gunpla, and I keep making things worse when I try and sand down nubs.

I'm using tools from


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D1JYXKO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ak2nybGW2B3D8

Also what is that yellow tool included?

u/magicturtlw · 1 pointr/Gunpla

Is this deal worth it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D1JYXKO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IR1NAb14D22A5
I feel like I'm letting the kits down with my current tools and was wondering if I should get it.

u/astro_hanso · 1 pointr/Gunpla

Also sanding paper / boards to sand down nubs.
I bought this kit.

I was able to assemble my entire core set plus 11/12 expansions with these items:

and

The clippers are still going strong and the files work nicely. I have no mold lines or excess glue on my minis and I filled in some gaps with green stuff:

You can usually find it a bit cheaper. Hopefully, that helps!

Not sure your price points but looking on Amazon this Army painter set is a great start to get a quantity of colors you would need and can add colors when you need to, there's also a $25usd kit with less paints but enough to get started.

For brushes I get this from Michaels as it had a lot of brush sizes for different things and starting out you don't need to buy expensive brushes.

This is a great brush cleaner and depending on the figures you decide to paint you need some tools so something like this kit would be easy to have everything in one go.

Did you have any minis in mind you were wanting to get started with? And welcome, I use painting for stress relief as well and it's easy when you have a figure and are just making them look good

u/Rabbi_Rustko · 1 pointr/Gunpla

I have some tools but do I need to buy a basic tool kit to build these kits?

u/Itsquacktastic · 1 pointr/Gunpla

Alright. So. I'm just starting to watch Gundam, and started with Mobile Suit. I really dug Rambal Ral's suit for some reason, and I think I'd like it to be my first build. But to someone who has never done this, it's really intimating. I know I'd want to go for the HG kit here as a first time build? And I was looking at this tool set here. Seem like a solid plan so far? And about how long does a usual kit take, give or take on experience? I know this sounds like a "please solve my problems for me" post, but there's a lot to take in. Help, please?

u/adrigreat14 · 1 pointr/Gunpla

Well, the only things you really need to build a kit are a pair of hobby clippers and motivation. Everything else is optional, depending on how much effort you wanna put into making your model look as best as possible(hell, I used nail clippers of all things with my first gunpla because I didn't want to invest in tools before actually building one for myself and knowing if this was a hobby I wanted to pursue or not).

For this one I actually got a modeling toolkit, some Gundam markers for panel lining and a small cutting mat through amazon(although you might be able to find them at local hobby stores as well). I can't really speak for other tools, but these ones worked pretty well for me. If you're worried about costs you can always start with just some basic tools and slowly build your toolbox up from there as you build more models. Hopefully you have as much fun with your first gunpla as I had with mine!

P.S. Remember I'm also a newbie so take all of this with a grain of salt
