Never knew Life of boris would give me advice on how to apply stickers to plastic robots and while at the same time flexing his huge misato cardboard cutout and komi-san in the background.

"you don't need to have a very steady hand to do this"

Real grades: "Are you Sure about it?"

[iansahleen]

You just had to release this RIGHT after I put the stickers on my MG Astray Red Frame

This is gonna add a hell of a lot more swearing to my Gunpla sticker process.

As someone who loves Real Grades, this video is a god send

Matte coat over decals, expecially after your trimming tip, will pay in spades to blend them into the piece.

For me, one of the worst things about sticker decals is that the way you have to pick them off the sheet.

This is fine for larger decals, but the countless tiny ones will inevitability get flung off into the great unknown and lost forever.

Then again, maybe that's not such a bad thing, because it's what convinced me to bite the bullet and buy some waterslides.

Nice tutorial! I'm probably going to try this out when I paint my kits or accept that I am never going to paint them :p

Very interesting, thank you for sharing this. I started building Gunpla June of last year and I learned that sticker decals is really a challenge, well my skills is novice I have to sat but this is very helpful

[mafiuyu]

definitly giving this a shot when i build my next kit with sticker decals

[vaggelisfarmakis]

Just got my first gundplas cant wait to try it out

Oh boy I can't wait to use this technique on the 5 small ass decals left on my RG Nu Gundam, at least I can try this with RG Sazabi

[sonichunter]

THANK YOU, this was extremely helpful for the new RG astray kit that I'm building

[EcnoTheNeato]

I will DEFINITELY be trying this technique on my upcoming kits. In the past I tried using an extra-sharp hobby knife to basically slice the border of the sticker that stuck out. Bandai, why you make stickers that have backing parts that stick out over edges?! Anyway, I have a feeling this method will be MUCH easier than what I was doing. Can't wait to give it a whirl!

Looks great! I can’t wait to start gunpla!

I've only built two kits with these kinds of decals so far, but halfway through the first one (rg unicorn) I got annoyed and got a pair of tiny precision scissors that I think were intended for eyebrow or eyelash trimming. I'll take the decal I'm applying off the sheet with my tweezers and trim the edges with the scissors before applying them, which has worked pretty well so far. Currently doing this for the rg crossbones, but I ordered some waterslides for most of my backlog

[destructo-pizzatv]

Cool you made this just before I my two new kits

[ralphdro-]

Oh that seems pretty useful!!! Definitely gotta try this later! Thank you so much~

[mattr.]

Thanks for this. Going to give this a shot on my next build with a matte topcoat after
