I usually just use a Dspiae glass file after cutting off the nubs. Works pretty well every time. If there's still stress marks even when flat, 95% of the time rubbing it with my finger nail does the job.
@KriegsverbrechenGaming
for small nibs you can kinda scrape over em with the sharp or blunt edge, helps if its in a though spot to get a good cutaway on the nib. but thanks for the tip on how to not even let it come to that edit; i kinda only build 40k minis so idk if this is different plastic that doesnt allow it/ gets very scratchy and will keep looking that way. generally on 40k minis you just cant see minor scratches you create doing that after painting, and to this day ive never scratched something so bad painting it didnt make it disappear
@moonshadow5513
for the first cut i recommend cutting with the top of the nipper facing towards the part, this will help reduce the amount of stress on the part.
@NeithDollhouse
You still need to sand and buff if you want that real polished finish look

New to the hobby here. You saved my life
@Metallah23
Thank you! Very simple but really damn useful for beginners like me
@e1hz997
Nice. I’m just starting out first time before my AC6’s Orbiter, search algorithm brought me to you. You’re just what I needed.
@Slaughterproof
Depends. The small and medium nubs I cut flat with a knife, and the large ones I cut close and file. If it's blue plastic which shows stress marks the easiest, I almost always file then rub it with a fingernail or with a plastic parts separator to blend the plastic back into color.
@Shobitium
Nice and simple advice good short
@akiyamato3299
When the God hand single blade nipper worn down, it took the role of double blade nipper, or can just get plamokojo nipper use it to cut the runner with infinite replacements blades
@LordOfel
It might be quicker to directly cut the piece with ~1mm space to the part left. Then cut what's left with two cuts instead. Should save you quite some time. Also using a nano glass file is quite a lot quicker than using a hobby knife, albeit more expensive
@mvp30sg
I usually do straight builds and I trim bits off the nubs before going into against the parts, then using a hobby knife to chisel off any remaining excess. That enables me to avoid sanding that could be messy.
@jonahxddd2932
I'm super new to the hobby so sorry for the dumb question, but why not just cut with the single-bladed nipper initially?
@FurnoTurbo
With this technique, i'm gonna finish my 15 gunpla quickly. Thanks ! (Do you have make a video on the markers ? 'cause i'm gonna try with some gold on the mg barbatos and i research good techniques for newbies)
@zohanrock
There's a really great tool that's for nail filing and polishing. Just search 5 or 7 step nail filing buffering tool or stick. Has 5 or 7 different grade sandpaper and polishing paper on one stick and it's really cheap as well.
@zombie8hunters
I use the flat part of my exacto blade to smooth out dips and raises from older kits❤❤
@Sjf_35
This is the exact technique I use
@darkgladiator27
You can use a hobby knife, or you can get a glass file for that buyback most of the time
@Rediozy
thanks for the info bro.
